it was easy. but make sure you use red taps (18-22 gauge I think?). I tried blue first cause that's what was lying around and it didn't work.

the lever sensor works by shorting the leads when fluid is low and thankfully both the mazda and yamaha sensors work the same way. i just wired in the yahama sensor directly to the coolant sensor so now anytime either is low the circuit will short and throw a light. i tested it and all is well.

i chose to use coolant instead of oil because my oil light has been coming on somewhat randomly and i dont know why. i figured i should know what's up with that before wiring in another variable.

it came on before an autox the other day so i threw a quart in but then it came on again so i checked the levels and it was a bit overfull so i'm not sure what happened. i did nothing and it came on again later so i'll just do an oil change and see if it happens again..
