Default Oil pressure wire

Ok I’m bad at reading auto wiring diagrams
can anyone tell me how and where the oil pressure wire is run ? Mine got pinched during cdl install by a shop and instead of trying to find where the wire is bad I would be easier to run a new one
looking at this diagram does the ground wire go from the instrument pack oil light directly to the switch ? Looks like ground wire C0230-6 WN 0.5D ?

C0230-6 is a connector and pin ID, not a wire identifier. WN is the colour of the wire (White/browN), in this case.
The D2 electrical library confirms that "the oil pressure warning lamp is connected to the instrument pack from pin C0230-6 on a WN wire to the oil pressure warning switch" (p.4.136).
C0230 is on the instrument pack itself.

Additional information for those interested, comes from some LR3/D3 documentation but should be correct for D2 also...


Wire Insulation Colours for Land Rover

BK or B Black

BN or N Brown

BU or U Blue

GN or G Green

GY or S Grey/Slate

OG or O Orange

PK or K Pink

RD or R Red

VT or P Violet/Purple

WH or W White

YE or Y Yellow

The insulation colour is indicated on the wiring diagram followed by the wiring conductor diameter in mm, that is; RU, 0.5D is Red (dominant colour) with a Blue tracer and the wire is 0.5mm in diameter. Also LGB, 0.5D, 700 means Light Green with Black tracer, 0.5 mm conductor diameter, 700 mm in length. Hope this helps someone...

Those pics are NOT in the RAVE " Workshop Manual " under ELECTRICAL.

They are in a separate section called " Electrical Library "
Most full versions of RAVE will have all the sections but....

You can see them under

> CONNECTOR
> CIRCUIT REFERENCE NUMBERS
