1HZ sensor - 80 series

Post by Chucky »

On my dash I have a light that comes on a fairly regular basis. Mainly, but not always when I indicate and when I brake.
The manual says it's a oil level light. It the orage oil can with a wavy line under it.
Since all my oil levels are good, and that it mainly comes on only when the brake or indicators are used I reckon it's a electrical porblem, or the sensor is stuffed. What I cant find is the sensor.
So can someone tell me where this sensor is located so I can test it and start to trace out this fault.

Cheers

Thanks guys.
I have checked all oils levels and all is good. Oil pressure cut out works as well.

I have put some serious thought into just removing the bulb from teh dash, but thought I'd see if I could fix it properly first.


Thanks again.
