Should do.....as the switch only lights up the lamp in the dash cluster, I take it this is on an e30??

yeah on a e30 mate, i thought the sensor tell the ecu thats there pressure before it start the engine.

maybe, but i don't know.

brian help.

All the oil pressure switch does is control the light on the cluster. The ECU neither knows nor cares whether the switch is connected or not.

Ok cheers brian, will have to go through the wiring again then!

cheers again.
