In-line light to oil pressure wire
« on: April 24, 2022, 06:28:04 PM »
Hello, I was wondering...I have a 1974 750 that i am now wiring in a bobber frame.. if I attach an In-line light to oil pressure wire then... route that wire to a +12volt source... will that light work and function as my oil pressure warning indicator?

Yes, I believe so.  The oil pressue switch is to ground when oil pressure is too low.  So, 12 volt+ to one side of light, other side goes to oil pressure switch (sender)
intrigued by the wail...seduced by the scream.
