You can test that by grounding the wire that goes to the oil pressure switch ( not the sensor for the gauge - that’s the big can shaped one). If that’s grounded and the ignition is on the oil light should be on too. If not, suspect a blown lamp in the instrument cluster. If it does illuminate suspect the switch has died. You can get new ones from Wins International in the UK. I’ve found Geoff to be great to work with and sends stuff very quickly at a reasonable rate. </div><div dir="ltr"><div style="display:block;" class="yiv1256003842"><div style="display:inline-block;" data-url="https://www.winsinternational.co.uk/products/555760-oil-pressure-light-switch---copper-sealing-washer" class="yiv1256003842apple-rich-link"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" dir="ltr" style="border-radius:10px;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;display:block;width:300px;overflow:hidden;text-decoration:none;" target="_blank" href="https://www.winsinternational.co.uk/products/555760-oil-pressure-light-switch---copper-sealing-washer" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link"><table style="table-layout:fixed;border-collapse:collapse;width:300px;background-color:#E9E9EB;font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="300" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-emailBaseTable"><tbody><tr><td align="center" colspan="1" rowspan="1"><img style="width:300px;min-height:199px;" width="300" height="199" alt="555760_oil_pressure_light_switch_and_copper_washing_60d2fceafe.jpg" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-mediaImage"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><table bgcolor="#E9E9EB" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300" style="font-family:-apple-system, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;table-layout:fixed;background-color:rgba(233, 233, 235, 1);" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-captionBar"><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1" style="padding:8px 0px 8px 0px;" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStackItem"><div style="max-width:100%;margin:0px 16px 0px 16px;overflow:hidden;" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:500;font-size:12px;overflow:hidden;text-align:left;" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-topCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.winsinternational.co.uk/products/555760-oil-pressure-light-switch---copper-sealing-washer" style="text-decoration:none;"><font color="#000000" style="color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);">Oil Pressure Light Switch & Copper sealing washer</font></a></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word;font-weight:400;font-size:11px;overflow:hidden;text-align:left;" class="yiv1256003842lp-rich-link-captionBar-textStack-bottomCaption-leading"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.winsinternational.co.uk/products/555760-oil-pressure-light-switch---copper-sealing-washer" style="text-decoration:none;"><font color="#A2A2A9" style="color:rgba(60, 60, 67, 0.6);">winsinternational.co.uk</font></a></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></a></div></div><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Best,</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">Steven </div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><img alt="image0.jpeg"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Sent from a small screen, please excuse any typos. </div></div><div id="yiv1256003842yqt09494" class="yiv1256003842yqt0311824763"><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 6, 2024, at 11:26, Fred Lemna via Rovernet <rovernet@rovernet.org> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"></div></blockquote></div></div><div id="yiv1256003842yqt44362" class="yiv1256003842yqt0311824763"><style>#yiv1256003842 filtered {}
