What do you do with the factory oil pressure connector?

[@jacobrzeszewski6527]

Preferably you'll either have your engine tuner disable the factory pressure sensor or you can use a T fitting.

Just replaced my old Glow Shift oil pressure & water temp gauges with the updated models, much easier to install now and all appear to be working correctly

[@peterlakers1]

did anyone notice he removed the oil sending unit and connection and didn't reconnect the unit .. this means the computer will send a check engine code.. because there's no pressure the computer not picking up...

[@haidao9100]

Yes i see it , I guess glowshift forget to mention it, option to use oil pressure tee to npt adapter, one for OEM oil sending unit and other for oil pressure sensor to the gauge, I install mine with adapter with two ports as i mention above, but some car wont give CEL when removed oil sending unit and i have no idea, please correct me if i am wrong.

[@mooosestang]

You can ground the factory wires. If it's a single wire sensor then you just run it to a ground.

[@SuburbanRedneckGarage]

What did brass connectors did you use to move the sensor to where you needed it? My mishimoto sandwich plate is just a hair too close to the engine block to install my sensor, so I need something to push it out a bit. Struggling to find what I need

[@michelangelo5903]

i want to grab one for my 1990 eclipse GSX my OEM pressure gauge is pretty stupid and i’d rather have accurate readings. the sensor is located low near the oil filter so running the wire and keeping it clean looking will be interesting to overcome lol

[@machain1996]

Nice video!

[@jrios030284]

I will do it on my MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS BUT I have little doubt I want to install two Glow shift temperature gauge and pressure oil gauge how to do it?

[@s.u.6198]

and what about the original Oil pressure sensor cable for the ECU? where does this now get the signal from?

[@cherickospo]

Is this sensor independent of the computer codes? Does the check engine light not come on? Or does the red oil light only come on

[@road2richz_q266]

What do you do with the factory oil pressure sensor?????, because the ecu will constantly show check engine light if its not connected.

[@hoodrichracing3901]

What size fuses for the gauge? And if I run multiple gauges to one tap, would I need to up the fuse size?

[@GlowShift]

We recommend connecting to a fuse 10amps or higher. You can connect up to 4 gauges to 1 single fuse without increasing the amps.

[@hoodrichracing3901]

@@GlowShift thank you so much!

[@expertbv]

how do you run multiple gauges? wont one gauges expandable circuits in the fusebox get in the way of another gauges?

[@GlowShift]

You can connect the wires of up to 4 gauges together and run them each to one expandable circuit. All red wires - expandable circuit 1 All yellow wires - expandable circuit 2 All orange wires - expandable circuit 3 All black wires - reliable grounding source

[@20ashernathanvictoria72]

Ive seen multiple video's about installing different gauges, what do you need if you want to install 3 gauge's, is there like some kind of hub to connect all the things too?

[@GlowShift]

No hub, we would just recommend a 3 gauge wiring kit to make wiring all the gauges to power easier.

[@SakisTheDrifter]

Can i also connect the stock sensor's wire onto the new sensor? I dont want to lose the dash warning indicator. I am talking about a seat leon 1m

[@GlowShift]

No. We would recommend one of our adapters that allow you to install both sensor to one location. Contact our customer support directly and we'll be able to get you hooked up with what you need.

[@bvandme]

So unlike the old model gauge you don't have a ground wire on the sensor harness ? This new model harness goes directly to the back of the gauge with no ground wire as I see it correct ??Should get mine tomorrow I hopeThanks

[@GlowShift]

That is correct. The only ground wire will be from the power harness from the gauge.

[@scottthornton3219]

When you use the extended fuse do they need to be same fuse or can it be higher

[@GlowShift]

Our expandable circuit will come with a 5 amp fuse. We recommend not going any lower than that.

[@red666A]

All three gauges use the same ground wire, constant 12 volts, head lights, and turn on ignition fuses?

[@GlowShift]

That is correct.

[@big_lu32]

If you run 3 gauges can you use the same grounding location for all 3 or do each one need their own ground.

[@GlowShift]

Yes, they can all use the same ground.

[@JimmyHondaRacing12]

Hi, I went to install my oil pressure gauge and there was some plastic piece on the pressure sensor harness. Does this stay on or come of? Thanks!

[@GlowShift]

You should not need to remove anything from the sensor or harnesses.

[@JimmyHondaRacing12]

@@GlowShift awesome! Thanks for the quick reply! Ya the sensor plugs in fine with the plastic piece on so I assumed it's some kind of weather guard.

[@switxh005]

I have a 05 infinity G35 coupe I was needing help the owner Before put glow shift gauges in the car But only the battery voltage one works and not the oil pressure gauge or water temp gauge

[@GlowShift]

[@angelamaral3934]

So if I want to run 3 gauges like this video can I just wire 2 of the gauges to one gauge ?

[@lisandro_5751]

Yes the red, yellow, orange nd black wires can be connected together

[@lisandro_5751]

Signal wires must be separate

[@EuroNoobie]

I know this is an old video but can I connect the orange & yellow wires to a headlight switch? Constants a little difficult on my VW Vanagon!

[@GlowShift]

You can but the yellow wire for constant allows the gauge to remember the color selection.

[@xxtimo_titanxx7189]

What it you don't have enought space in the fuse box area or adding multiple gauges then what, any suggestions?

[@GlowShift]

You can wire multiple gauges to each individual fuse.

[@45triza]

👍. More video's with subaru

[@GlowShift]

We have more coming, stay tuned!

[@45triza]

GlowShift Gauges ok, thank's a lot

[@saladasSTi]

What should the readings usually be at idle and at moving

[@GlowShift]

Your STI should idle around 20psi when fully warmed up and above 43psi when moving. Your RPM's will determine how high the pressure goes.

[@CaptainMeliodas]

If a sandwich plate is used for the new sensor, can the stock sensor be left in it's location or will it need to be removed and plugged?

[@GlowShift]

Stock sensor can be left where it is.

[@Jaunpierre]

Had that same Q, do you sell your product in SA?

[@XxODDXFUTURExX]

Anyone that buys any gauges and has never installed it won’t be this easy especially if you are installing the gauge apillar on your apillar wires don’t reach so you gotta run extra wire also so yah have fun with this project

[@jstx8983]

If we have 2 gauges do we connect the wires together for the fuse tap?

[@GlowShift]

Yes, you can wire up to 4 gauges to a single power source.

[@funky.ass.breakz4473]

When installing more than one guage, is it ok to tie the 'red, yellow & orange' wires from say a water temp gauge and an oil pressure guage together before tapping into the fuse box?

[@costanzaaaa]

its been a year but do you know if you can

[@CP_FPV]

Yeah u can. I’ve done it before, not with these brand of gauges but with other ones.

[@stingway1137]

yea u can just make sure theres a fuse with a big enough amp rating to handle all wires

[@tmanchoi6839]

I have five gauges to install 1 oil pressure, 2 turbo boost, 3 trans temp, 4 coolant temp gauge and 5 air/ fuel gauge, I am nervous to install them because there are so many fuse adaptors that need to be installed in the fuse box I am scared there wont be enough room or just to many adaptor's

[@GlowShift]

Don't be scared, you can do it!

[@rileyenia9388]

Be carful about using the location of the factory oil pressure switch a lot of cars won’t run properly if the computer can’t see oil lsi

[@GlowShift]

In most cases it will only throw a check engine light which will need to be cleared.

[@neonhomer]

Could you power three gauges from a single fuse?

[@GlowShift]

Yes, you can.

Should have used a 350z for this example

[@adiaz8892]

What size fuses are being used?

[@jdm68]

Probably a 4amp

When the connectors you are using, are blue you have to use the blue section on the wire wrench

[@sniperjj1077]

Can I run 2 gauges off of the same fuse adapter setup? (Constant power wires double crimped, etc) I've got an 05 legacy so it should be similar/the same as the Subaru shown

[@GlowShift]

You can extend the wires. Just use wire connectors and spare 18 gauge automotive wire.

[@nissanbuyer]

why did it need 3 fuses. looks like 1 fuse with power when running would do it ???

[@GlowShift]

One is a constant power so the gauge remembers your settings, one for ignition so the gauge only turns on when the vehicle is turned on, and the 3rd one is optional to enable the dimming feature when the vehicle's headlights are turned on.

We have been running this setup in this exact car for 6 months now and have not received a check engine light or "limp mode". If you are worried about a light, you can install the sensor using an oil filter sandwich adapter.

[@rex_s80]

not the case for all cars, some have it where the lack of oil pressure grounds the signal to the switch and so simply removing the switch would make the car thinks it has constant pressure as It can't ground the signal, I've tested this by putting the connector straight to the ground on a car and then taking it off and the light went off when I took it off the ground. it depends on the car.
