What are you trying to prove by having three oil temperature senders? Why the complexity? Best option is really in a location where oil flows or in the pan. If using an adapter in between or in place of the oil filter a sensor in the adapter on the outside (where the oil leaves the case) will really give a good indication of how well the cooler is working.

Hello vanagon crew, I'm in the process of wiring up three VDO oil temperature senders to one gauge (one on my pan, and one in each to/from line to my oil cooler) and for the life of me am having a tough time finding a good switch to select from the three inputs. I went all over town today (Radio Shack, West Marine, some local places) to find something and everyone has on-off-on SPDT switches or DPDT switches but nothing that is three-way. I don't care if it's a rocker, rotary or toggle switch, just that it'll mount on my dash somewhere!!! Any suggestions of what and where to buy this are MUCH appreciated. Thanks, Luke |
