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#5860118770810156482 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.
