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?

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.
