Thank you very much, David. Mystery continues. My Son and I checked oil before we drove from the TBA. Oil level fine. I took the van for a spin. No buzzer over 2000 rpm, so the ground wire is in place. At more than light throttle, oil pressure light flashes at same periodic manner than if sensor disconnected. If I am say at 2500 rpm, and take my foot off accelerator pedal, light goes out. Putting moderate pressure on pedal causes it to go on. After driving around about 15 minutes, oil pressure light seemed to return to more nomal operation. John
