Oil Pressure Gauge Wiring Connector

[Guest]

I'm in the middle of wiring a harness from scratch (PO's hacked up job involved runs of lamp wire in the harness), and the butchered original had the connector for the oil pressure switch clipped off. I looked in the manual, but the picture isn't clear enough to really see what the connector looks like and I'm not sure if it's just a simple electrical connection to the post on the top of the switch or something else. Looking around the web, I know there is a plastic connector that is supposed to be there, but I don't know if that's just a plastic housing around a simple forked spade connector or if there is something else going on inside the plastic housing. If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate it.

I don't even know why I have these pics in my library to share with you. My bike doesn't have this type of switch, but yours probably looks a lot like this:

That's definitely what the switch looks like. Thanks! I am constantly finding random part pictures in my library. Sometimes I can figure out why they're there, most times it remains a mystery.

The switch itself is there, but I'm missing the wiring. If whatever is inside the plastic housing that sits on top of the switch is just a simple electrical connector, that's an easy fix. If it's something else like another sensor component or something, I'll have to try and find it.

Just a connector, nothing else involved.

I believe it's more or less just a common female spade terminal inside the plastic housing with a slot in the bottom. This pic I just found shows the terminal (not exactly a common female spade, but one such might do), without the plastic terminal housing.

Rich, you are a man among men, and a fantastic human being. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of being in Central Louisiana, the drinks are on me!

It gets me sorted on this piece, but, as always, so much more to be sorted...
