My new Milodon pan doesn't have an oil level sensor provision.. no biggie I check my oil regularly given the nature of the car.

How do I trick the dash light aside from taking the bulb out? Can I drop a resistor of a certain value into the pigtail?

 

Couldnt the ressistance be measured from the sensor itself then duplicated with a resistor?

 

Yah, I guess I could just dip the thing in oil? I don't see a float of any kind on it, so it must work that way.

 

cant u get it tuned out?

 

I think it's a "straight to the dash" sensor, doesn't go to the PCM. Kinda like the coolant temp sensor on the driver's side head is.

 

Cant tune out the dummy lights (air bag, coolant, oil, asr etc.)

 

I think most people just cut the plug off and connect to two wires.

 

makes sence.

 

So that means "oil full" is a reading of 0 resistance I take it?

Looks that way then! Thanks Jeff.

 

What i did was i just took a resistor i had laying around and stuck it in the plug. It worked, it was one of the ones i had laying around from trying to desensitize my knock sensor from years ago.

 

The "sensor" is not really a sensor, it's an on-off switch. Shorting the wires together will cause the light to stay off, just like Shoebox said in the other thread.
