You just answered my question! Best video right here! You win the internet. Thank youuuuu

Thank you very much for this video. For the life of me I couldn't understand the necessity of replacing a $20 sensor part when it ostensibly appeared solid state in nature. Seeing some of the mechanically-activated moving parts internally explained this much clearer to me. And to be smart enough to actually test the old part for failure - that was great!

One of the best "How it Works" video I have seen on YouTube. THANK YOU

Great video. Using a 1/4" to 1/8" brass reducer I was able to put a sender from a 92 gmc Van into my 85 gmc van. The video helped me figure out the wiring. Works great now (I just connected the gauge wire because there is no second switch on an 85)

Outstanding video! You laid that out perfectly and answered the all the questions I had about the sorcery involved in the topic. There are so many 'how it works' pages and videos that just essentially say 'connect this to that and it works!' Maddening! Thank you for filling in all the gaps my friend

Everytime I open youtube, i hope there is one video from you guys. I learn a lot with you. Thanks for taking the time to make this videos .

excellent! Without performing an autopsy on the unit, one can't acquire the info needed to fully diagnose the circuit based on the diagram alone. This video is great!!

This is a great video explaining the inner workings of the switch. I like the way he shows 50 psi air pressure simulates the 50 psi oil pressure. I also like the way he explains how the potentiometer works inside the switch to get particular oil pressure reading, by having a lever slide up and down the spring as pressure changes. The electrical diagram fails to show the variable resistor on the ground side.

Very good explanation how the sender works. I know why my son's battery was dead and now he is having oil pressure problems. Thank you!

Great video! Awesome detail and I like how you tore down the bad unit to illustrate how it works!

You are a electrical genius, Duane! I wish you were local to me I'd give you all my work!

I watched the whole video and learned a lot even though this wasn't the video to answer the question I was currently searching for. A lot of interesting details explained very well. Nicely done my friend!
