If I just unplug the 2 wires from the oil level sensor, will I disable it, allowing temp sensor to still work alarm correctly?
The oil sensor only senses oil level in tank, correct, and only completes ground to warning lights?

And when the tank or supply hose leaks and you lose your oil and no alarm to warn you, is it worth losing the engine?

Re: Disabling Oil Level Sensor

Try thinking of this as a theraputic trial in a diagnostic work up, not as a plan for a future life style. Maybe that will clear up the current question.

Now, to phrase this another way, Capt Ken, I want to run it down the lake like this as a test to eliminate the oil level sensor as the cause of the warning light, and ensure everything else in the warning light/ buzzer system is working correctly, rather than risk breaking something trying to pull the oil tank apart to test.
Didn't say anything about this being a permanent plan.
