Where is the oil level sensor wiring coming from?

hummali · 11-24-2019, 11:05 AM

Hi,
My oil level sensor wire has been cut in half. No idea how. The wires just broken off right before the adapter connecting it to the sensor on the oil pan.
I would like to replace the entire wire but I do not know where is it coming from within the engine bay.
Anyone ever done this?

dang shame nobody came thru for you here. I am dealing with this same issue. Apparently its very common. What's not common is the info to find what wiring harness this dang plug is joined to. I am willing to buy the whole harness but there's not 1 source of information online for this. I am resorting to my local dealer parts store and attempt to get this info out of them. If i find the answer, I will let you know. Assuming you still need this haha

My guess would be that the wire comes from the engine ECU. In newtis all info should be there.
