Default Wiring oil pressure sender

In my removal of the engine I didn't take the oil pressure sender unit off properly, I just unbolted the 2 wires rather then leaving one of the clips on like I should have. Is there a way to tell which wire goes to which terminal now?

I think it does not matter which goes where, they just measure the resistance.

Actually if you reverse the wires the gauge will peg and stay pegged. So its a gamble of figuring out which one goes where...and hopefully not have to climb under the car again.. .

So with the key in the on position, engine off. The oil gauge should remain at 0 if I have it wired correctly and pegged at 5 bar if the wires are reversed?

The wire with the white stripe is attached on the left post when the sender is installed with the posts turned to the bottom. I can't see the markings from under the car.

Make sense?
