Hi, I've been having a good look at my power steering issues on my recently acquired Z, and stumbled across the below. I have tried to research it but not found anything on this..

 

 

Can someone please tell me something about it? It's located just below the N/S engine mount. Thanks in advance

I'll hazard a guess it's an oil pressure sensor.

Yes it is. Not sure about the loom connector though, doesn't look like I remember it to be. Maybe a pattern part sensor has been used and a new wire needed making. I'm sure the original loom connector totally encompasses the connection at the sensor to keep dirt and water out.

Yeah totally agree it looks like the wire has been chopped, either from a dodgy connector, or replacement pressure sender..

 

Thanks for confirming lonezedder :)

It's normally covered by a rubber boot. Behind the boot is a push clip. I suspect someone's either replaced it with a non genuine one or they left it hooked up when pulling the engine and broke it, I've done that one myself.
