Oil Pressure Light

Post by cctjoey »

Hey guys, after the engine warms up for a while, the oil pressure light flickers lightly at times, brighter at others...sometimes not at all.

Idle-brighter
Running-flicker
Accelerating-off

Any ideas???

There is plenty of oil...

The first thing I would check would be to clean the terminal and make sure it's tight on the oil pressure sender. It may be loose which would give you the symptoms you're seeing.
