- In this video i'll be going over how I replaced the oil pressure switch in my 99 mazda miata with a oil pressure sender that should give me more more of a working gauge movement instead of just oil pressure? yes or no.
Parts used:
VDO 360-003 sender, bought locally at napa auto parts.
www.napaonline...
GlowShift 1/8 BSPT Male to 1/8-27 NPT Female adapter, this is an Amazon affiliate link.

Blue thread locker
a few inches of wire I had lying around, as well as a blade connector and a ring connector.
Thank you Bro, was looking for some Tutorial, Im gonna Order Parts and follow your steps
Glad I could help!
@@thirdgengarage Hey my friend, wanted to tell you that I just finished the installation, unfortunately the second time.
The first time I bought the wrong adapter and was doused with oil, I don't know much about cars, I'm an IT specialist. :-)
So the pressure gauge was high as soon as I started the car, but I really have to go to bed, it's almost 4 o'clock in the morning here in Germany.
I hope I'm not getting on your nerves, unfortunately there are very few Miata enthusiasts in my region.
See you soon homs :-)
Happens, but you found the issue and got it sorted. All good now? No leaks? Sorry I was a little late to reply, did you end up adjusting the needle?
@@thirdgengarage Hey man, thanks for your answer.
I actually had a small leak, oh well I bought a sandwhichplate and attached the sensor to it, I was also unsure whether to use teflon tape or locktight, but I used the tape. The sensor came loose somehow, I screwed it in again and now everything works as it should.
Regarding your question, I haven't adjusted the needle yet, to be honest I don't know what scale I should use, do you know what I mean?
But the needle moves super fast, probably because it's an NC? You'll laugh, before the rebuild I pulled off the OEM oil pressure switch and started the car, the fucking thing was still doing its "dance" :D
But I'm absolutely sure that the value displayed now is actually coming from the transmitter/sensor. I plan to install an additional gauge and attach a second cable to the sensor in the next few days, just have a look.
Because the gauges I bought have values written on them, the one in the car does not. Somehow it frustrates me that Mazda have installed such crap, yo for what?
Have you made any progress? I saw that you changed the resistors last.
Brother I wish you all the best
Take care
@@Freshmattik Makes sense on not adjusting the needle, i'm not familiar with adjusting the gauge on the NC either. 😅 good idea hooking up another gauge to compare.
No progress on the sender and gauge, if I end up sourcing an early NA gauge i'll add to the series. For now, i'm happy it's not leaking and i've adjusted to see the gauge move now, rather that just on/off, good enough for now and on to the next project!
Thank you, you too!
