Ghostchips Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I'm wondering if a whole batch of senders were just re-labeled switches. It's happened in the past with oil filters and the drain back valves being backwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can do that, pm me an address and I'll get it away today or tomorrow. Pretty sure I can handle postage on this one. Have you tried the Tridon part? Are the American 4G54's using the same part as our engines? (no reason they wouldn't) Also pretty sure diesel Pajeros use the same part and are/were available new from Mitsubishi, I'll check local availability if I get out today.

The part numbers above are direct replacements for the 4g54's also. No I haven't tried the Tridon part yet as I am already in the hole for 4x sender units that do not work already. I will PM you my address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonkas Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 @Ranter - Was this off a vehicle with a gauge or just a warning light? I am also getting open circuit with your sender unit and a wonky gauge. Strange as the gauge is behaving as it should when grounded or left open... I now have a TPS005 which is also showing open circuit, have yet to install in the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranter Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 From a Starion which have gauges, probably had a digital dash though but still not a warning light sender they are just a switch. I'd take the gauge and sender unit to a instrument specialist to make them work together or go to Mitsubishi and buy the correct sender for your car or go aftermarket.

bonkas Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Tested the Tridon part - Still giving a wonky gauge. Tested the sender on another vehicle of same make/model - Shows ~10-20 ohms when switched off which is the correct behavior according to the manual. @RanterGrabbed another brand new sender unit off the shelf which was listed as the correct part for my make/model of vehicle.. surprise surprise, same part number as what I already have and... open circuit. I tested the sender unit off a V8 and it is showing ~10 ohms also at 0 PSI also so might source one of these. Something like this should work a treat. https://www.supercheapauto.co.nz/p/vdo-oil-pressure-sendr-unt-1000kpa/SPO4174883.html it seems Supercheap stock a few of these VDO senders: http://www.vdo.net.au/media/189570/2016-vdo-catalogue.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonkas Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 Some info I have dug up from the manual for the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
