j80leo Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 The oil level is fine but the amber light is on with the red triangle in the middle of the dash I've tried earthing the alternator to the ground on the battery but the lights stay on, the volt meter is on 14v and when you turn the lights ob and load the battery it goes down a little but not loads down any ideas what this could be.

Dnk Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) The red oil can is pressure and the orange oil can with the wavy line under it is low level so if the oil is on the dipstick then its probably a faulty sender or sensor Edited September 17, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
