Can anyone identify what this is? 2014 Wildcat Trail. It's on the passenger side next to the front motor mount. Can't seem to find a parts diagram that matches the location.

Oil pressure sender: Unused on these as stock, but if you search for it here you'll find a lot of people hooking them up themselves.

Thank you! I've seen those fail just like this one, just couldn't find find a loose wire and couldn't find it in any part drawings.

Wait... You mean our machines have an oil pressure sender that's not connected to anything? I've never noticed it before, but I'll look for it now! Can I wire an automotive type oil pressure gauge to it? Even if it didn't read the right pressure, all I need to know is if the oil pressure suddenly drops so I can stop before the engine explodes.

It is actually a switch, a gauge will not work. Most folks connect it to a light - positive wire from light to switched power, negative to the switch.

Here is the thread that explains it all: Oil Pressure Reading?

Thanks Dallas! I'll store this away for future reference.
