- 1 x Oil Pressure Sensor (Part #34623)
Installation Guide
- Ensure the engine is off and cool, and disconnect the battery terminals.
- Locate the existing oil pressure sensor on the engine block.
- Place a rag or tray underneath the sensor to catch any dripping oil.
- Carefully disconnect the wire from the sensor's terminal stud.
- Using an appropriate wrench, unscrew and remove the old sensor from the engine block.
- Clean the threads in the engine block to ensure a good seal.
- Apply a suitable thread sealant to the threads of the new sensor.
- Screw the new sensor into the engine block and tighten it securely, but do not overtighten.
- Reconnect the electrical wire to the new sensor's terminal.
- Reconnect the battery terminals.
- Start the engine and carefully check for any oil leaks around the sensor.
- Verify that the oil pressure gauge on your dashboard provides a stable reading.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: First, check the compatible engine models listed in the tables above. The most important step is to verify that your engine's original part number matches one of the numbers in our cross-reference list, such as MerCruiser 815425T or Volvo Penta 172127.
Q: What type of gauge is compatible with this sensor?
A: This oil pressure sensor is specifically designed for use with an 80 PSI electric oil pressure gauge. Using it with a gauge rated for a different pressure (e.g., 100 PSI) or a mechanical gauge will lead to incorrect readings.
Q: My gauge reads zero or is behaving erratically after installing the new sensor. What could be wrong?
A: First, check that the wire is securely fastened to the 10-32 terminal stud. Second, ensure the sensor body has a clean, tight connection to the engine block, as it grounds through the threads. An improper ground will cause faulty readings. Finally, confirm your gauge is a compatible 80 PSI electric model and is functioning correctly.
Q: OEM vs. Aftermarket?
A: This listing is an aftermarket replacement part (not an OEM component). We build to OEM specifications using comparable-grade materials. Production is done in an ISO9002-certified facility, and each batch is inspected for consistent performance.
