I need to know what color the accessory wire is and I have replaced the high pressure oil sensor but it still beeps and the oil light blinks. Also my temperature light stays on, but I have plenty of fluid in it. Please help!

Hello, MELODI

It sounds like the engine has low oil pressure like the oil pump is worn out or the engine is low on oil. Best way to tell is to remove the pressure sender and install a manual gauge you can rent one from the auto parts store and then start the engine to read the pressure.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
