I am currently installing my engine and trans back into my 95Z. After sometime of saving money it's done. I had a local speed shop order a 7qt. Moroso oil pan for it becasue I couldn't get the rod bolts to clear (even trying to hammer the pan). Well I went and picked up the pan, and never looked at it. When I went to put it on I realized it had no bung for the low oil level sensor light. The pan fits fine and bolts on, clearance is no issue. I figured I didn't need the sensor it's a "dummy light" to me. I check all fluids quite regularly so I don't need it. How would you go about removing it from the system? Do you just leave it connected and zip tie it to something, or would you cut it out and splice the wires back together maybe put in a resistor? Does the computer need the sensor to operate correctly?

Any help/suggestions would greatly be appreciated,
Jason

 

I have a Milodon pan and no oil level sensor. When I had the PCM tuned they did a half fix I guess, or so it was explained to me. Every other key cycle I still get the low oil level light. The best fix is to put a resistor between the two wires for the sensor. If you just tieband the sensor up somewhere, the sensor will still be showing low oil level since gravity works so well, unless you can figure out a way to get the float to remain up on it. I've just been living with the light on once in a while, no resistor yet.

 

Just loop the wires no resistor needed. I have been running my 96 like that for three years. The sensor started leaking so I put a plug in because you can't get a new sensor in without dropping the left catalytic converter down.

 

I spit out a short section of wire from my MIG welder, bent it, greased it to reduce corrosion and shorted across the pins in the wiring loom.

The loom is still intact.

I installed an adaptor and used the opening for an oil temp sender.

This is a stock pan for an LS1 motor.

Works great, no light, no cost and didn't destroy anything..

 

Thanks for all the help, I'm going to try these ideas and see which one seems to work the best.
