Oil light on?

The oil light will only illuminate when the level is off. It doesn't work like a car which turns off when pressure is sensed as the engine turns so no, it shouldn't be on at all unless there's a problem.

OK Thanks. That makes sense being its a sensor rather than a sender. I guess the light side of the wire was grounding somewhere before since the sensor end has always been unhooked and the light wasn't on before?

Sounds like it. Just glad to know you got it hooked up the right way and I'm glad we could help.

I appreciate all of the help. I'm sure I'll need more!
