[QUOTE="mmsllc, post: 91934, member: 13117"] Sounds like a wiring problem. I would check every inch of your wiring harness for obvious signs of damage. I would scrutinize over areas near pinch point, hinges, hot exhaust manifolds, etc. If nothing jumps out at you, I would do the following: Turn the key on, verify the oil pressure light is on. Then, unplug the sending unit, is the light still on? If so, it sounds like the wire that runs from the oil pressure sending unit to the oil pressure light is grounded some how. You can run a wire to the light & to the sending unit. Does the light operate correctly now? If so, you can easily add that wire to your machine to restore the oil pressure light. I will say that it is the easy & cheap way of repair, but it could require a new harness otherwise to repair the preferred way. I have seen wiring issues repaired this way on quite a few these machines. The other obvious repair [/QUOTE]
