Oil Sending Unit Question

[Matt Garcia]

I am trying to figure out what the oil sending unit looks like on an 01 Merc. 350 Mag MPI.

Does anyone have a picture or explanation?

I am thinking it is on the drivers side right above the oil filter. I wish I had a picture to explain it, but does that sound right?

It is on the drivers side it looks kind of like a bell. Its about the size of a "D" battery. It has a single wire comming from the top. I think the wire color is blue.

Thanks for the picture, the dang wire came loose the last time I was out and caused my PSI to read all over the place (I had a thread about it a few weeks ago). I thought I had to replace the unit, the gauge, or had something much more serious.

Problem solving and engines dont work for me, guess thats why I am not a mechanic!
