Was this sorted out?
Green/red wire may be shorted somewhere to ground. Unplug 13 pin connector in eng comp. If green light is still on, short is between connector and gauge. Check unplugged sensor (switch) with a meter. With car off (no oil pressure), sensor will be grounded. With oil pressure, the sensor opens (no ground). Make sure there is no path to ground to the bulb in the gauge other than the red/green wire. If the bulb socket gets the ground from the gauge, the light will always light. The red/white wire provides +12v with the key on. |
