Hi
I got an autogauge oil pressure sender and it is the 2 connection type. Connected it all up and connected my gauge wire to the sender but the needle doesn't work so i tried my old sender (that leaks a bit which i why i got a new one) temporarily to test if it's the gauge and the needle shot up. The other connection has wk marked on it and that is ground. So in order to get it to work do i have to run a wire from that connection also and connected to the bulkhead somewhere to get it to work?
Does anyone else run this sender set up

Oh thats gr8 one connection has the letter G and the other WK i take it you connect the gauge wire to the G and an earth wire to WK.
Where on the car do you connect the ground wire to?

Hi Mate,

Try connecting the "G" port to your gauge (pressure signal). Ground is taken from the body of the sender.
The "WK" port is an option if you want to include a low-pressure warning circuit.
