Engine Oil Pressure Light

The engine oil pressure warning light is mounted in the instrument cluster and is controlled by a pressure operated switch located on the side of the engine block. When ignition is in the "RUN" or "START" position, oil pressure light should come on.

If not, the bulb is burned out or there is an open circuit between the bulb and the oil pressure switch or between the oil pressure switch and the choke heater. After the engine is running, the oil pressure light should go out when the oil pressure reaches the correct specification.

If not an oil pressure problem, a faulty oil pressure switch or an open circuit from the choke heater fuse to the oil pressure switch is indicated.
