Pawel Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hello!This weekend I had the opportunity to do some 1:1 work and I got to work on my wheels. I had the problem of the oil lamp blinking randomly. After some reading I decided the thing was a problem of a bad electrical contact. After I crimped a new contact on the wire the lamp now works as it's supposed to, so I guess I have that confirmed. The biggest problem was to get the access to the oil sensor - in order to do that, you have to take down a large tub, a piece of sheet metal that protects the engine from the underside. In order to do that I had to jack my baby up - and here's how we did it with my pops:Well the electrical work took me 10 minutes. Taking down that tub and reinstalling it afterwards - over an hour. But at least I have a reliable oil pressure warning now! Thanks for looking and have a nice dayPaweł Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Seems the actual repair is always much easier then the time it takes to get to the repair area in anything car/truck related. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
