Are their any auto electrician's our there ? have has a problem for a while - oil light switch not working ? so followed advice kindly given - in the end fitted a gauge and new switch - then pronto the oil light came on "phew" but alas it now stops on - took the speedo head out about four times - checked wiring looking for a possible short - nothing visible -

is it possible it could earth through the bulb holder - head ? think the next thing will be to remove the bulb ? on the plus sign the oil gauge is a fantastic addition !

Does the light go off when you pull the wire off the new switch?
