wire to oil pan

blk88lx · 07-02-2001, 12:48 AM

Hi all,

I have an 88 LX that the previous owner dropper a Tbird Motor into. This thing is a wiring nightmare. One of the many problems it has is an extra wire by the d side O2 sensor. I saw on another 88 that this wire goest to the oil pan. My oilpan doesn't have a place for it. I assumed it was for the oil pressure sensor but I have one hooked up to a sensor on the side of the block. My gage reads pressure if the engine is not running but drops to 0 when I start it. I tried hooking this other wire to the sensor but it didn't work. Any idea's?

It's for the oil level sensor. THe one in the 89 lights at about a half quart low.

That wire goes to the oil level sensor. I wouldn't worry about it. You check your oil level often like any good Mustang owner would.
