Oil pressure light on a 72 resto
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2018 10:30 pm
Restoring 1972 fiat spider...did up the engine first...new rod/main bearings, I rebuilt carb...re-did valves , seals etc. Looks great...got it running...sounds good...
Oil pressure gauge is good....oil pressure light stays ON....changed sender...light still stays on....i know I've got good pressure...
After a few starts...and letting the engine idle until warm...(light stays on) I decided to look at the lights in all the gauges...
Didn't have dash lights on the fuel gauge.
Turns out the oil pressure light and dash light in fuel gauge were in the wrong sockets!!! So, I reversed them.....now I've got dash light in the fuel gauge and oil pressure light goes off when I start the car!?(
