Connecting through a meter is not the same as connecting the wire
directly to ground.

Perfect. Thats just what I need. Last night I was at the boat I
cranked the engine and took the wire off the end of the sender and
there was no change. I did not tuch the wire to a ground. I put a
meter red to the end of the switch and the black to a ground. The
gauge looked like it was serching mode. I did this with the engine
running and with the engine off. It did the same thing ither way? So
it looks like from what you are telling me my problem is in the
wireing. On the back of the tokkle switch the wires were ont connect
when I got this engine so I guessed at whitch spade lug to connect
thek to. I would bet I have one of them wrong.
Thanks for your hel.

The easiest way to check an oil pressure switch is to disconnect the
wire
from the pressure switch, turn on the key switch to the "RUN" (not
START)
position, and then ground the wire. The buzzer should buzz. If not, then
the
problem is somewhere in the wiring harness.
Assuming that you then hear the buzzer, then the switch is likely bad.

I have a question about my newly installed 2GM20F.
I just installed this engine last month. It came with its own
electrical panel and looms. It was a good running take out, from
another sailboat
The Buzzer in the old engine I took out would sound the second I
turned the key on. Once I pushed the start button and gained oil
pressure the buzzer would turn off. The new engine does not do that? I
am afraid to run the engine long as I may or may not have oil
pressure. So here is the question. Is there a way to check the
pressure switch with a meter? It screws into the block just under the
oil filter base and has one wire connected to it. I know the buzzer
is good. It will sound with the toggle switch on the interments panel.
So I need to know if there is a way to test the switch. And please
explain step by step. I know nothing about electrical stuff. I am
trying to learn and I am reading a lot of books and watching u-tube
how to vid to try to get better at it.
Thanks for your help.
