au oil sensor

[Philquad]

i screwed up, i bought a oil light sensor for my brothers 1999 au & my mechanic put it in for free (buddy system)

but then he told me it was wrong one, i knew it, i just ordered it by mistake

& i need the oil gauge sensor instead

but now, its still has the wrong part in it & it wont start
hoping its just because of the part? what do you think

What does your "mechanic" think?

Wrong oil pressure switch Shouldn't stop it from starting

You could always put the old one back in until you get the right part.

you wouldnt think so, but its a bullet proof car normally, does about 30 km per week

my bro's hopeless, he cant do it, its under the oil filter, its going back in next week, but now it wont start, its gunna be fun getting it there lol

wont see "mechanic" till monday, they should have but the old sensor back in but its on me, i bought it

If he was screwing around the oil pressure switch he was near the coils and ignition system under the inlet manifold.

Tell him to go back and check the connections......(hint)
