There's no universal color code for oxygen sensor wiring. Buy the right sensor, period.

If you're buying a generic sensor for your car (possible, but there are still many different kinds) and need to splice the wires from the new sensor to the car, usually the black wire is the ground and the other wire is "hot." With three-wire sensors, try to find a wiring diagram online to match up the colors. It's risky using a voltmeter or test light to find the hot wire(s), because you could fry your computer.

Where is the oxygen sensor on a 1995 Chevrolet C3500?

Near the "Y" pipe to exhaust manifold joint. Follow the wire that is the same color as the replacement part has. It screws into the pipe just like a sparkplug. You will need a 7/8" wrench or an O2 sensor socket to remove & install the part.


Where is the oxygen sensor 1 on a 1997 Saturn SL1 and is it hard to replace?

Oxygen sensor #1 screws in to the exhaust manifold just before the headpipe. The hardest part about replacing an oxygen sensor is screwing it out. Sometimes they are a little siezed in from the heat. after you get the old one out, you'll need to make sure you know how to electrically connect the new one. Some of the replacement oxygen sensors have a plug and others need to be spliced in. Just make sure you connect the wires correctly, following the color codes or the directions that came with the replacment sensor. It's relatively easy and a good first auto repair project.
