Spitlisters,
Some confusion on my part regarding the wiring for the oil light on my '72
Spit.
The sender is just a pressure activated switch, normally closed, (light on),
until oil pressure turns it off, (light goes out). Looking at the wiring
diagram, it appears the oil light is wired in series with the brake light.
My assumption is that both will come on when the ignition is turned on, then
go out once oil pressure is obtained. But won't both lights come on if there
is a loss of oil pressure ? And with a brake failure, (or brake switch
failure), the oil light will never come on. Or am I looking at the diagram
crooked ?
Maybe it's time for a gauge.
Thanks...Ken C
