Subject:      oil light/buzzer comes on for no reason
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

hello everyone,

Here's the story. I have a VDO oil pressure gauge I've been using for about a year now...works great. The factory high pressure oil switch is totally disconnected and the wire is grounded. The low pressure switch is now part of the new VDO sending unit. It has an 8 psi threshold. This also works great. If the oil pressure drops below 8 psi, the light will blink, but no buzzer. Today, the buzzer and light started coming on when the engine revs to about 2500 RPM. The gauge reads about 45 psi at this point. Short of taking a 12 sledge hammer to the instrument cluster, how do I make it stop...permanently?

Happy new year, Greg Stelz 86 vgon Delaware, Ohio
