ok guys,

i was out with my dad in my car today and the oil presser light on the dash went on. he says thatit dosnt sound like theres low oil pressure so he told me to look up a test online to see if the oil pressure sender was faulty. i looked it up here and i couldnt find a test.

is the only test take it out and put another one in and see if it works?

And no, the oil pressure light does not go through the big brother relay under the passenger seat.


Technically the oil light wiring doesn't go through the seat belt relay but the wiring does make a stop there at terminal "B". A relay that's not securely mounted or has water in it could cause a false oil warning light.

I know it goes through there...we already disected that wiring online here...

Can I just take it off of that relay "logic circuit" and wire it to the lead that goes to the light, or ???

Why is it going through the logic circuit?

I would like to eliminate that logic circuit completely, this is the one thing that I would like to retain, I would like to keep the oil pressure light working correctly...
