Ok, I just won one of the two-output sending units:

Long story short:
I went out and put it on my roc (I already have one of these *exact* sensors
in there - but needed this one for a second press gauge...), so I put it on,
started the car, saw that the gauge was working and the light went out. I
gave the car a few quick revvs and everything seemed fine. I decided just to
leave it in the 'roc since it was working, then, as *soon* as I pulled out
of the apartment complex.... Bzzzzzzzzz *blink blink blink* zzzzzzzzz.....
But the pressure was in fact, fine.
The real "lol" of this is that I didn't have the time to turn around and
change it back out....so I drove over 35 miles last night with that infernal
bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and blinking light. I really am chuckling
in real life. Thankfully I know my car well enough to know what's *really*
going on with it.
I'm sure you other Rocc'ers can appreciate how mentally difficult it was to
continue driving with that blinking light and "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
going on.

Now, the question:
Since it's only the idiot-light-portion is screwed up, is it possible to go
into this sender and fix it?
Thanks!
