Re: Oil Pressure Light question


 

Hi Mike,
I always remove the alternator - it doesn't take long and gives you much better access.
Good luck with it,
Tom

Yet again Tom....you NAILED it. Did the idea below and gained a flash as it should. Next move....replace sender. Does the alternator need to come out of it or be moved out of the way to remove the sender or..... maybe I will have my 12 year old do it with his tiny hands. What would you suggest?

Thanks again,

Michael

Hi Michael,
The oil pressure switch is just under/behind the alternator/Power steering pump.

I suggest you just un-plug the connector from the switch and connect it directly to a good ground. This should keep your oil pressure LED ON all the time. If it doesn't it suggest there is something wrong in the wiring from that Oil Pressure connector to the instrument cluster. Try cleaning all the contacts in that circuit - starting with the Subaru engine connector.

Good luck,
