Can somebody tell me how this sensor actually works. It has two blue wires encased in a rubber sheath at the bottom of the oil tank, on the outside of the tank. It is not connected to the inside of the tank. My manual does not give any details on how it works,but only gives directions on how to check the sensor. I have a 1995, 125 Mariner, s/n 0g196982.
The reason I am asking this is because the alarm was going off, with 3/4 tank of oil, and when I unplugged one of the blue wires it stopped. When i checked the sensor like the manual said to it showed it was bad, but after buying a new sensor this is doing the same thing. Is there something in the tank that makes the connection to this sensor?
