**New Clocks - oil warning light coming on? HELP**

[G60Dan 0]

Just replaced my 8V clocks with some 16v clocks. Problem is, as soon as I pull away, my oil warning light comes on & starts to scream!! Stays on till the ignition is turned off. The car is a 20vt, so I'm guessing the oil warning light wouldn't have been connected with old clocks!! ?

 

Why does it keep coming on??

 

I'm sure I've seen 160mph clocks in over 20vt's before though??

 

I don't care if the oil buzzer isn't conected? I'll buy an seperate gauge! I just want it to turn off.

 

It's not the level oil, it's sitting just under the max HELP!!!! Thought I'd put it up here too, one of you guys might know something?

 

Cheers

this happened to me once in my golf. i disconnected the battery and re connected and it cured it.

If not, your guna need to earth the oil pressure warning light wire i think?

Do you happen to know the colour of the wire that will need earthing?

Just find the 2 oil pressure senders (1 white,1 blue?) the wires are 1 yellow and 1 blue i think?

1s for low pressure and 1 for high pressure

[G60Dan 0]

and then earth them both?

[G60Dan 0]

I dont seem to have a blue black wire? But 2 blues & a blue/white?

[G60Dan 0]

going to earth the yellow on its own and see what happens. I don't want to start chopping in to other wires and creating more problems.

[G60Dan 0]

Problem sorted. It was just the yellow wire needed earthing.

 

Thanks for your help Flushed.
