Oil Warning Lights

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

Got into the supe after work today and turned the ignition to find both the red and amber oil warning lights lit up for pressure and levels. Checked the dipstick, it's a little off maximum but certainly isnt empty.

 

Started the car up, once it had warmed up to temp both lights disappeared and never returned during my 14 miles home. Got home and turned the car off, thought i'd turn the key once to see if the lights came on and they've both re-appeared!! I'm a little worried.

 

 

I'm a mechanical novice unfortunately :( (not for the want of trying!!)

 

Cheers,

 

Jordan

The solder joints behind the lights are a known weak point but usually the lights do not come on if they are broken/dried out. Might still be worth a check though as it's an easy to fix problem.

 

:iagree:

Well I turned it to on, they both lit up as usual and then I started the car and the red light disappeared but the amber remained lit until it had got up to temp.

 

Ok, cool... Was just checking..

Thanks gents, I'll give that a check first, dash off job I'm assuming??

 

Nope, just the upper cowling, you need to take out 5 screws and gently pull it towards you. The lights cluster itself has one plug and two screws on the backside holding it to the cowl.
