Oil pressure warning light
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi,

Anyone know which 2 wires I need to re-wire an oil pressure light?! (Now using a yellow LED) I managed to figure out the Ignition light [LED] from the manual; White +ve, Brown/yellow -ve.

Using this logic I've tried the Oil LED; White +ve (same one as above) and White/Brown negative. No luck.

The LED works, I've checked that much. I assume the low-oil-pressure unit is working, but can't be certain (car's stood for a long time now!)

Trying to follow the printed circuit on th eback of the 3-clock cluster is tricky as some of the connections seem to become the coiled wires for what was fuel & temp gauges (that was how I figured the rest of the connetions to get everything working:)

Any advice appreciated.

Many thanks in advance, Dave.

theres a good chance the pressure switch has gone down if its been stood that long

earth the wire out to the engine block which goes to the switch to see if its duffed ?

Phewph - swift response, thanks Benross. Off now to try that one... (that 'test' seems completely logical when someone else tell you haw to do it! D'oh!)

The metro turbo sender works opposite to the mini one too

no pressure=earthed on metro turbo sender

no pressure=open circuit on mini sender

Metro turbo weekend driver,Mini turbo in the making again!

Yup, looks as though my sender unit's duff. Thanks for the help guys, saved me a lot of head scratching!
