Does anyone have a diagram for this, or can explain how they work as I've managed to break mine whilst butchering the wiring loom :smashpc: :rolleyes:

I assume the pressure switch somehow gets it's feed from the oil level switch as I think they use the same light but once the oil pressure switch is on the oil level would loose it's earth so i assume there is a relay somewhere in there?

Any help appreciated

didnt see your reply till i submited my .any way from looking at the pic in the manual number 21 is the oil pressure switch 1 wire goes to junction block 80 then to junction block 433then to a connector on the back of the dials number 31. the other wire from 21 goes to junction block 80 then to junction block 433 then to connetor at the back of dials number 32.
number 209 oil level indicator 1 wire goes to junction block 80 then to junction block 433 dont see a wire coming out of the block and the same with the other wire. dont see no relays

i high lighted the wires thought it would make it a bit better to understand the routes the wires take

Cheers mate.. I sorted it last night.. I'm not sure where the feed came from that fed the bulb but once I ran a new wire from the connection block that was located at the front nearside wing to the oil pressure switch it worked!

Downside is that I've found a leak around the pressure switch :rolleyes: nothing a bit of gasket sealer won't fix :agree:
