Subject:      flashing oil light
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hello Everyone,
Well, have I got one for ya.


I replaced the printed circuit (behind the instrument cluster) on my '87
Westy in order to get a working digital clock.  I installed the new circuit
and ... Voila, I had a working digital clock, but then I also noticed that
my oil light would flash when starting my van and not go off.  If I drive
with the flashing light, a very loud buzzing noise goes off after about a
minute.  So, I put the old circuit back into the van and noticed that my oil
light hadn't never actually worked with my old circuit.  (Ignorance is
bliss, I guess)The oil light didn't even go on when I would start up my van.
  All of the rest of the lights work, (ox, LED, battery).  I have owned my
van for over a year and have never had trouble with my oil.
Do I just have a bad oil sensor?  Where is it located and how would I go
about testing it?
Any other ideas or suggestion?


Thanks in advance for any help that you could offer.
