I'm wondering if an '86 SR5 4Runnrer (with guages and tach) should have an oil warning light? I was checking all the instrument cluster lights per the owners manual (turn ignition key on and hold break pedal down but don't start truck), and all the mentioned lights come on except the oil pressure/warning light. Is this light only present on the non-tach idiot light clusters? Can someone with an SR5 1986 era truck or 4Runner check to see if they have an oil light? Thanks

 

is it a auto or a 5spd ?

 

5-Speed, and I'm not referring to the auto tranny light. Thanks

 

im not sure if they had oil lights that year i know my 93 pickup had one it looked like a oil can

 

Has anyone had a chance to look at their idiot lights at startup?

I'd rather not pull the cluster to see if there is an oil pressure warning light.

Thanks

 

...you could drain the oil out & then start it....that would be easier than removing the cluster...

 

'85 SR5 pickup does not pre-start, just the pressure gauge. If it has one that comes on after start, I've not seen it, as no zero pressure condition encountered so far.

 

There is an oil pressure light it is the lower left light on the cluster. I have an 86 4runner automatic. When I turn the key to ignition it light up as well.

 

I don't think it has one. The SR5 has a pressure gauge, not a pressure switch.
Lighting the warning lights manually, I dont recall an "oil" indicator.

 

My 88 dlx has one, but i have never seen it light up. Even when key is turned and all other lights are on.

 

Sorry to hijack mine has the oil light. I'm not sure trim model my 86 4Runner has though. It doesn't say SR5 in the back but it says special edition on the chrome side trim. What is the difference between SR5 and deluxe?

 

Deluxe is the model between the SR5 and the bare bones ones.
