I'm adding a VDO oil pressure gauge to my '06 Ranger 4.0L SOHC and many of the VDO senders have a very handy built in warning light contact that would make it easier and cleaner to do this vs. using a tee and two senders, but I would like to avoid butchering the factory harness to hook up the warning light to the new sender. Does anyone know of a mating connector or pigtail that plugs into the oil pressure switch connector on the engine harness so I could build an adaptor pigtail that connects to the VDO sender?
Alternatively, is there a way to find out what terminal is used in the harness connector for the oil pressure switch? If I knew which one it was, I could find the matching terminal and a connector set that uses those terminals, de-pin the factory connector and proceed that way. It looks like the replacement pigtail for the oil pressure switch is pigtail WPT-439 (Ford part #3U2Z-14S411-MHA), but I can't find any information on what terminal is used in that pigtail.
I am hoping that someone has already solved this and I just haven't found the magic post yet, and if not, that someone with access to more detailed Ford service and technical documentation could look this up.
