If the sender on the side is grounded, the light blinks. If the rpm is over 2000 and the sender under the water pump is *not* grounded, the light blinks and the buzzer sounds.

The one sender opens at 0.3 bar; the other one closes at 0.9 bar. If a 1.8 bar sender gets in instead, will cause false alarms. But the fact that the alarm goes off at 3,000 rpm and not 2,000 is worrisome (to me, the non-expert) because the pressure should be higher as the rpm goes up.

Yours, David
