Low level sensor

[ramrod]

So, while changing the oil pan gasket I broke the electrical connector that connected to the low level oil sensor. Do I really need this sensor? I did some searching and saw a cpl of posts of people taking them out and using a bolt to block off the hole. My question is what do I do about the wire? Is the car going to think the oil is low without it not connected to the sensor? I don't want a check engine light or low oil light on all the time.

Remove the bulb if you don't want the light on lol

Lol.....I know that's an option but would prefer not to purposely unplug things just so I don't see them lit. I was just wonder what other people did besides remove the bulb.

actually removing warning lights often makes the ECU beep really loudly every time you start the car. But putting a piece of electrical tape over the spot it shines out of will not.

Nevermind, I found that the plug is attached to the o2 sensor harness. Ill just buy a o2 harness.

Long story short here. Ran an open track event. Blew the engine. While removing blown engine I notice low oil plug was broken. Retraced my steps from night before. Seems while working under car nights before I somehow broke the plug and didn't notice. Also never checked the oil level before running the event. Big mistake on my part being It's something I always did especially since the old engine burned allot of oil. Even worse was the low level light saved my ass in the passed when it once came on during a run. Ok maybe not so short of story. Not a bad idea to keep it operational.
