My Oil pressure light not working at all.
I feel a bit uneasy driving long distance or any distance without some oil warning device.

I have a 1984, so 1 switch and 1 wire. Naturally, gonna check that connection if the wire is still connected.
Though is their any other positions along the wire, which often an achilles heel on these?

if the wire is broken or fallen off or corroded it will never light
the reason you check for a light before each start
rubbish design really but switch is only closed with no oil pressure

so light off normally open when driving and pressure ok
