Need a photo that shows where the wires go from the intake mainfold water temp sensor on left front (when looking down from hatch) amd also the sensor/unit just in front of it slightly to the left. That one had a wire that went from it, straight back along the left side of the engine to nowhere(not connected/frayed wire end). Trying to get the temp gauge working and also the oil pressure guage.

Thankx

a picture won't help. the wires go up to the dash instrument cluster. it is possible that the one from the oil press. sender also had a pressure switch that was wired to the distributor so as to shut the engine down if you lost oil press. many guys add this feature.
if this was done you should have a tee fitting coming up near the water pump with the sensor can on one side and the switch on the other side of the tee.

i hope someone with more knowledge will add to this.

The pictures will help, they will show me where the wires start at and where they go to the firewall in the engine compartment.
Its inbetween where they need to be fixed...

Well, here you are.

I'm not sure what you expect to see by looking at the conduits containing the wires going forward from the engine.

The wires in question enter the conduits and head forward inside the conduit along the oil fill pipe.

Thanks for trying Ken, I appreciate that..
Not all are in conduits yet,(like urs is where I'm trying to go) but I have to get them in first then I will do like urs and put them in conduits..
If there is anyone who's wires arent in conduits or know where they go from/to please advise..

What also makes this a little difficult is that I'm working in Dallas again thru the week and head back up to OKC on weekends and try to continue to fix things from the snafu that I went thru for 3 yrs in between the honeydo's/etc...

Thankx

you might try taking the OEM conduit off the wires and see what you have. as Ken showed the conduit goes up the oil fill tube and further into the main wiring harness. a look at the wiring diagram in the manual will help some to see where they are supposed to go.

wiring is so much fun.

CB, there are several coaches in and around Dallas, don't know if any are Kingsley's are not. Why not call the folks on the Black List and go look at a couple up close and in person? Looking for the specific wires in question.

I almost bought a coach from southwest OKC, but alas it didn't work out.
