Topic: Oil Light Always Off

[Analysis]

Hi guys,

After my rebuild everything was going well (500km in) but now the oil light is always off. I tested the light and it works and I made sure the connection from the light heads into the engine - but without any oil pressure (engine is off) the light is still off and doesn't turn on. Switch issure? Should I check connections along the side?

Thanks!

Light bulb, wiring, switch.

The old what model of bike and year question    As mentioned look at the easy stuff first and work your way back. Expose the actual light and socket,give it a wiggle,change the bulb etc.  and work your way back. Just played with a couple of oil light issues recently.

If you know the light is good, use a bit of wire to jumper from the wire going to the oil pressure switch to ground. Light on? bad switch. Light off? bad wiring plus maybe (not likely) a bad switch.

Light on after shorting to ground aka bad switch. How do I find this?
