Just put new/used pcb in dash. Hallelujah we have warning lights, except for oil light. I used to test oil switches by putting the lead terminal to earth. I did this on the van and the oil light came on. Is this a certain sign that the oil switch is duff? Thanks in advance.

As oil switches detect pressure then that is what swtches them on and off

And therefore cause the internal switch to earth itself?
