Oil Light Always On In Cluster But Very Faint

[THRLLR]

Hi Guys,

My R33 GTS-t has the oil light ALWAYS on. But it is barely visible. At night it is more noticeable (obvoiusly cos its darker) but at day unseeable unless the shadows are just right. LOL

Anyway i have Autometer gauges for Oil Pressure and Water Temp and i have checked the oil levels and changed the oil and that hasn't fixed anything.

The Oil pressure has been the same before the issue started and now. Water temp is still the same with slight variations as normal.

I have read on the forums that the oil pressure sender unit (for the gauge) and the oil light thingy are different.

What could be the problem guys im at my wits end and the f*&^king light has had me paranoid for weeks.

I'm open to suggestions.

Have you got dimmable panel lights? Try changing the brightness and see if the oil light changes.

Aaaah Now that you bring that up, that reminds me. In Victoria when they did the compliance on my car, they added some dodgy ass dimmer for the panel lights but i disconnected it to remove the dash panel (where the fusebox door is) and then reconnected it and my panel lights no longer dim.

How would the dimmer affect ONLY that paticular warning light???

There might be a hole or something that is letting light from a panel light "leak" into the oil pressure light socket.

aaaah thanks for that i'll check my dimmer switch and the light 'leak' see if i cant solve this stupid thing? also with the dimmer switch mine no longer actually dims anything and im wondering how it should be wired??
