I recently had this problem with my fox. To add to it, turn on high beams and clock would also turn off. Found ground trace on foil itself had a problem. Added a jumper on the foil, problem solved. Since you worked on the foil I would suspect it. The traces can look good but be NG.

On Engine Off Thanks much. Ground to cluster ok. Connected low pressure oil switch wire directly to frame, oil light still dim. Thought the oil light has been working fine, maybe intermittent connections at "L" board killed it? 2 images starting here: https://picasaweb.google.com/musomuso/EngineConversionJettaABA20#58601187708 10156482 I had simply connected a couple of connectors to the pins on "L" board. This morning I soldered wires in place of pins, but oil light behaves the same. Neil.
