Default Oil sensor wire?

Hey everyone I am starting in on my LT header project and I got a quick question. The oil wire sensor the one that goes to the side of your oil pan has two little wires and a connector one wire is ok and the other one is ripped apart, do you guys know any prices on this and where does the wire end up at on the top of the engine? This wire runs right by your oil filter. Car is a 1997 Black Camaro Z28 A4.

Trace the good wire to where it goes and the other one will be next to it. The break will be where the broken peice is at that length in the harness. Is it the oil level sensor in the oil pan or the pressure sensor that comes out of the block?

That is just the low oil level sensor. I am not sure where the wires end up on the engine, but I would just trace the non broken one and you will find the broken one. It is an input to the cluster to turn on the low oil level indicator.

I know where the broken wire is, I went ahead and bought a GM connector and splice/with heat connectors to cut-to length wires to replace the broken one and the new one.
