Oil pressure light - dual connection possible
Need some help please. I currently have an electric oil pressure Gage Autometer 0-100. I would like to add a low pressure warning light, say 15lb.
Is it possible to simply add the connection to the sender together maybe with a resistor in the line? If so, can anyone recommend one that will accomplish this. Thanks in advance for you help. Ken Last edited by 406 bug; 09-21-2009 at 09:43 PM.

Gauge and light senders read differently. Light is all or nothing, gauge is variable. Just add a pipe tee and install the correct sender for the light.

From what I recall, most cars use an OEM low pressure light sender that lights at more like about 7 PSI, but maybe they have them for 15 PSI also.

You need to run a tee and two senders, one for the gauge and one for the light. Brass hardware store fittings are fine.
