danstee Posted July 6 Posted July 6 I’m pretty sure I have the oil pressure and oil temperature senders, but what is the sensor just below the silver oil pressure sender?
skippydiesel Posted July 6 Posted July 6 My guess its oil temperature. Is it possible you have two or that the other (not pictured) is something else like CHT?😈

The lower oil pressure switch starts the Hobbs Meter on my Rans S6S. The one on the sump would definitely be temperature. I can look for the wiring diagram if you need it. Edited July 6 by Kiwi

Kiwi Posted July 6 Posted July 6 (edited) I think he is talking about this one. But I'm thinking about a Rotax engine, not a Jabiru. Edited July 6 by Kiwi 1
danstee Posted July 7 Author Posted July 7 Thanks Kiwi, that’s exactly the question - I couldn’t edit my photo otherwise I’d have done exactly what you did. A switch for an hour meter is an interesting idea. It’s possible - does anyone know if that is common? Or maybe a low pressure alarm? Could I replace it with another oil pressure sender and use it with the EFIS? so many questions 1
T510 Posted July 7 Posted July 7 Could be a low oil pressure light sender, only way to be sure would be to trace the wire back to the other end, or unplug it and see what stops working 1
440032 Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I have a low oil pressure sensor for cockpit red light, right there. 1 1
Kiwi Posted July 7 Posted July 7 If it is the hour meter (sounds like it might for the idiot light) and you want to use the port for something else, this is how Rans now run the hour meter.
