Jim i look at them but i really want a confirmation about the sensor connections.

1)the external temp sensor connects on vert(green) connection on 14 and 15pins?
2) the oil sensor connects on blue connection on 5 and 10 pins?

thank you very much.

Just looked again and I agree. That is correct Panagiotis ;)

Looking forward to an update on progress very soon ;)

Hi Jim
I rechecked the connections and i want your help! I looked at the traces of the instruments pcb and although the pin ten on blue connection goes on the oil temp gauge the pin 5 goes on the high temp check lamp of the oil temp gauge! Is this right?
Thank you very much!!!

That is correct Panagiotis. The Oil temperature sender that screws into the sump has two sensors in it. A contact to indicate over-temperature that lights the lamp via pin 5 and a thermistor that drives the temperature gauge via pin 10. Pin 1 is a common +12V supply for the gauge.

Sorry for the delay in responding. Been very busy recently and no time to spend time consulting wiring diagrams :(
