Oil light flickering

(1/3) > >>

Big G:


Truck cab 90 with 300TDI engine. 1998. Regularly serviced.

Just dropped my little lad off at play school and noticed the oil light flash. Turned the engine off and checked the oil level which was fine. New oil filter and oil at last service about two months ago. replaced the oil warning sender switch but light still flickers. Goes from very dim to a bit brighter and seems to change when I go over bumps in the road. Have crimped on a new spade connector for the oil warning sender for a better connection. When I disconnect the oil warning switch the dash board light comes on full bright. Does this indicate an earth fault? where to check the wiring now is my question.

Any and all advice appreciated.

doda456:
Have you considered swapping the sender unit?   It just screws into the block,  and then the crimped wire slides on.

Saffy:
maybe its trying to tell you something

SI COOPER:
take the bulb out
