Walt,
I really appreciate the reply. It's the A/C compressor that makes removing the sender such a bear (the turbo gear is all on the driver's side of the engine). I also read multiple threads recommending me not to just go in there with a crows-foot at the base of the sender since I would most likely shear off the bolt holding the sender's mounting block.
So, here's what I've done. Obviously removed the wire from the oil pressure sender (gauge pegs at 5) and when I ground the wire the gauge pegs to 0. When I returned home from work this evening, I started up the engine. The oil light went out (a good thing). I disconnected the wire from the sender and attached the red line of my multimeter to the sender's wire prong. I attached the black wire of my multimeter to ground (the A/C compressor bracket). With the multimeter sets to OHMS, I got .01. I moved the black wire around and the reading jumped all over the place. I was expecting an "infinity" reading, but I am not sure that is what I got. I confess I am not the most skilled when it comes to this stuff. Perhaps I wasn't getting a good ground on my multimeter. What do you think?
