- | ===== Oil Pressure Light ===== | ||
- | If the oil pressure light stays on at speeds above idling, always check the oil supply first. \\ | ||
- | Then if the oil supply is normal, look inside the oil tank to determine if oil is returning to the tank from the return hose with the engine running. \\ | ||
- | If oil is returning to the tank, there is some circulation and the engine may be run a short distance if necessary. \\ | ||
- | If no oil is returning, shut the engine off until the trouble is located and fixed. \\ | ||
- | |||
- | Conditions causing the oil light to stay on; \\ | ||
- | Low or diluted oil supply, \\ | ||
- | Or a plugged lifter screen (86-91) under the plug between the tappets, \\ | ||
- | A grounded oil signal switch wire, \\ | ||
- | Faulty oil switch, \\ | ||
- | Faulty or weak oil pump, \\ | ||
- | Clogged feed hose (in freezing weather from ice and sludge preventing the circulation of oil). \\ | ||
