Oil Pressure Sender: Testing and Inspection

Oil Pressure Switch
1. If the "OIL PRESSURE" indicating lamp lights up when the ignition switch is "ON" and goes out when engine is started and runs at idle, everything is in order. If "OIL PRESSURE" lamp does not light when ignition switch is "ON" check switch, lamp and wiring.
2. If there is current flow when ignition switch is "ON" and if there is no current flow when engine is running at idle, the switch is good.
If the switch is good, check the lamp and wiring.
