Default Oil Pressure Sender wire

My oil pressure guage stopped working a few weeks back.

I finally took a look at the oil pressure sender and noticed that the wire is missing. I can't seem to find a loose wire around there, and I'd hate to hook up the wrong one even if I found one...

Anyone know what color that wire is and where it goes to? Also, where it might fall if it falls off would help. :D

Thanks

Glad you found the problem . Wish I could find mine! Mine hasn't worked since last summer. It's always had high
oil pressure so it wasn't a real concern, now that inclement weather is about to hit us with a vengence I need to
get a few things done. Got my clock working the other day and all it took was a shot of WD40. I had to
disassemble to get at the gears but it was fun. Now I'm trying to get oil guage to work. It rings out fine,
all the wiring and the sending unit. The only thing left is meter. It's a resistance system and the meter may have gone
open, it's pegged out running or not, key off or on. Revolting development, I may have to spend some money

Well...I might have my oil pressure guage working again, but I don't have a working clock.

The main thing that's preventing me from fixing it is getting it out. :crazy:

but I don't have a working clock.
I doubt anyone with a C3 has an original working clock?
