Help, accidentally cut oil pressure wire.
Hello, I accidentally cut the brown wire behind passenger side head in harness, it leads down to the oil pan, I had to remove starter, but there is not enough wire to splice, I need to find where it originates from, to lead a new wire there. Any help would be great thanks. Does anyone have the schematics or advice to help thanks again.

Yeah just splice 3 inches of new wire in there and call it done. Make sure to use automotive primary wire like TXL or GXL, not speaker wire, not house wiring, not paperclips or a nail. Get some self sealing heat shrink tubing and solder up and call it done.

Why? Just put a little more wire to make up the gap and splice it together. Why would you run a new wire? You're going to have a wire that doesn't match the original color and run it all the way back to the PCM outside all the plastic protective conduit where it will be damaged? Or you're going to remove the whole harness and tear it down to add the new wire correctly? Use the KISS principle!

If u do it these way the possibly skyrockets to cause another problem but if u cant sleep at night go for it. Then you can start another thread to troubleshoot your new problem.
