Hello,

I have an engine from a 2002 Firebird. LS1. There is some sort of 2 connector sensor that screws into the side of the oil pan.

My wires to it were cut at the sensor. I have a donor harness with two wires, but they are red/black and the sensor had different colored wires.

Could someone with a similar engine look at the colors and tell me which would go to the top and the orientation to the locking plug with respect to this?


I am guessing this is an oil level sensor, but it may be a knock sensor of some type.


Thanks in advance.

its an oil level sensor, the knock sensors are under the intake.

Thanks. Next to find where the colors go. My flashlight was not bright enough to see the colors and I didnt have a pigtail left.

The oil level switch is just a switch, it doesn't matter which wire is hooked to which terminal. BTW, you don't really need it, it has nothing to do with the engine running. It's there for people who don't know a dipstick when they see one.

thanks for the heads up.

I am 20K into my project, so I think I will make an error of having a safety switch.

It was a safety item GM instituted for LSx engines since they burned oil. It ran a dummy light in your dash for drivers not so good at changing the oil on scheduled intervals. I cant think of anyone whos actually retained the switch in a swap

Thanks Pocket, I guess maybe I will rethink.

I still have three more wires from that side of the harness to figure out.
