hey guys i've just recently found this site, and just starting to fix up my trusty truck. it's a 91 ranger basically fleet truck with the four banger. while doing some reading on the net looking for pin outs for a tach gauge swap, i found out that our oil pressure gauges have been rendered useless by ford. basically made into idiot lights. wtf? why would they do this? just to get more motors to blow up?
any way, i did see that there is a way to undo this and make them work by jumping the resister and replacing the switch with an actual sender. the walk through i saw was for a newer F250. and they didn't say what sender they used to replace the switch. anyone know for what vehicle i would need to ask at the parts place to get the right sized sender to fit where mine is? or better yet a p/n?
i like having more gauges than less. hence the tach cluster swap. it would be stupid to go through all that work and then have the pressure gauge just be an idiot light. thanks for any help you can render.
