What year of X do you have?
 






Hes got a 99

When I was messing with my oil pressure sender there was just one wire that plugged into it. I looked kinda like a spark plug wire and just popped onto the sender and if I remember correctly it was green. Maybe they changed things in 99? Or maybe I'm confused as to what your talking about?
 






LOL, wow those CAPS through me off and didn't even see the obvious :)
 






oil pressure switch

I hope I am calling the wires I need the right thing!! I have an electrical book I got from a mechanic from Ford but the book doesnt tell what color the wires are . . If you look on the drives side of the engine in front of the starter all by iteslf in the side of the block is the sending unit I am looking at, it is white in color and has a hole in the side of the nut in which I took a small pick and pushed in and the connector released itself. If I am calling this the wrong thing please someone let me know. The wire is one big wire but next to the connector mine has three wires coming out of it ( They look like they are green,black,tan/orange) I will wipe them off real good tonight and get the right colors. Thanks

the three wires are colored as follows
green/white
black
white/orange
