the low oil presure switch should work without any "option" being required

Re: Dashboard PCB Replacement (CJH Design)
Ok, it's been a while so I thought I would post an update. I haven't given up on this project and I have been back and forth with the people who designed my PCB and we've been slowly making improvements. I also got a bit of a refund from JLCPCB as they made a few mistakes too.
Good news is that I've made another order and new prototypes should be here in a couple of weeks.
I've had components updated and moved around on the main PCB and I'm trying to reduce/tidy the amount of wires connecting to things like gauges, as I wasn't happy with how messy it was looking. It was also quite time consuming connecting individual wires and making sure they were in the correct order. The latest prototypes include using Micro JST connections.
Other changes were made to the multiplug connector. Older vehicles seem to have traces joined in different places when compared to modern vans. I believe this is for a ground? So I've had 3 different multiplug designs made. Old, New and Manual (connect it yourself with wire). If anyone has anymore information regarding this please let me know.
If anyone has a factory diesel tachometer to sale, please get in touch too. I would like to start making designs for tachometer connections/PCB's in the near future.
Here are some pictures of the new PCB's. Cheers.
