My old oil pressure sender was running erratically and the gauge's needle was all over the scale. Also one of the wires to the sender broke off of its spade connector. I ordered what I thought was an identical aftermarket sender, repaired the broken wire and installed it as the old one was. But now the oil pressure idiot light doesn't light up at all - even on start-up - and the gauge is pegged to the right, even when the ignition is off.
I couldn't have crossed the wires since each spade is a different size.
According to past posts, the VDO part number for this sender is 360 009. That unit's specs are 10-180 ohms and 80 PSI max pressure. The specs for the sender I bought are identical.
All of the other gauges and idiot lights work.
Any thoughts?
