Hey all, just got a 55 Ford Fairlane this past weekend, and was doing some cleaning and found a wire that isnt connected to anything, and am wondering if anyone can help out. It is paired with the temp sensor wire, I noticed that the oil pressure sender dosnt have a wire connected to it, but this wire is a keyed power source, and I am not sure it should be powered if it were for the temp sender? Here is a pic of the wire, and where it is in the harness, any help would be great. And thanks in advance. Chris.
I believe the wire from the oil light is powered. Key "on" - power flows to the light - but the ground side is routed to the block switch. Pressure opens the switch and kills the light.
Thanks for the input guys, Hudsonmand, the coil resistor is hooked up, so thinking maybe Greenbird is correct, will check it out tomorrow and see for sure, thanks again guys. Chris.
