Well, i hit a bump today, and my oil light flickered on then back off.
It's been doing it since i hit that bump.
Any ideas?
Carbed 22R in an 87' pickup, so no fancy computers or anything

 

loose or shorting wire @ the sending unit?

 

Where exactly is the sending unit?
On the side of the engine?

 

Yes, right beneath the oil filter

 

Found it, the wire is uhhh...
It's about to fall apart.
I disconnected it, i'll probably fix it this weekend.
I also came upon another wire, it's red with a broken connect and an inline fuse.
It runs all the way back to the gas tank
The blue connector looks like it's snapped. And i didn't put this in, because my lightbar wire is a much lower gauge..

Has oldschol inline fuse setup..


There was no fuse in it, i checked.
And it runs along the frame to the back.

 

That red wire is not stock.....who knows?

 

hmmm...
i guess i'll hunt it down then.

Update: It disappears by my gastank.
When i put a fuse on it and put it on the hot side of the battery, nothing happens.

 

I'd suspect that maybe previous owner had an amp back there and that's the power for it....?
btw, not a good idea to connect to the hot side especially when it disappeared near the gas tank......just saying....

 

No amp in cab. Nothing to suspect an amp.

The first time the carpet was even pulled up was when i did it.

It's a pickup, not a runner

And there would be no explosion in the tank. Not enough oxygen to start a fire.

 

Could be anything...I would suspect something like power to an esky or some form of rear accessible power. You will probably find it goes no where, explaining the previous owner has taken the fuse out.

 

oh yeah, and i believe it's a stock wire because it merges into the little black plastic wire loom dealy
