Oil pressure warning light fault
Posted: 26 Jul 2006, 10:21
Can anyone help??? I have a fault with my T25 pickup (1.9) 1989 F Reg
I was happily driving my pickup the other day as normal and suddenly the oil warning light started to flash along with the warning buzzer, so I stopped switched off the engine and started it again all seemed fine so off I went until about 2 mins down the road and the warning light and buzzer went off again. By this time I was only a mile from home and I know the oil level was fine so I carried on home.
Once home I double checked the oil level which was fine as it had only had an oil change the month before, next I changed the oil pressure switch but still I have the fault, other then this it runs fine and I've been driving it around but I can't stand driving any longer with the buzzer going it's driving me mad.
This problem only started after I ran out of petrol as the petrol gauge is faulty can't see that there's a connection there myself.
PLEASE PLEASE does anyone have any ideas (yes I thought about braking the buzzer)
To re-cap on the fault
After about 2-3 mins of driving the oil warning light comes (flashing) on and stays on, but if I switch the engine off and back quickly whilst driving some time the light comes back on straight away, most of the time it stays off for about 2-3 mins but every now and then it stays off and that's why I thought it was a pressure switch fault.
According to the Haynes manual models fitted with a buzzer should also have a high pressure switch?? but I can't find one anywhere.
Pressure switch fitted is a grey one and connected to the yellow wire on the loom, which from what I can see is correct.
