Oil light sender

[Robsweetland]

I have tracked my electrical fault down to the line that goes from fuse box down to the oil sensor, if the sensor has failed does it cut power? In other words if it says there's no oil as a fail safe? Or is the problem on the line itself?

While not exactly answering your question I would like to mention that on the SF model a bad tail lamp bulb will also set off the oil warning lamp .

Cheers just replaced, I end up with no power anywhere! Shake the cable with ig on and engine off and the idiot lights come on. It is either the sender or the cable going under the engine, but don't no about auto cut off for low oil?

The sender is a nc switch. Oil pressure breaks the ground . Easy enough to test with a meter or test light. But it does not interfeer with the run circuit . Not sure if thats addressing your question .

It does thanks, need to keep looking!

There is a white connector block by the fuse box which I cleaned,this then goes down the back of the airbox and this is where the problem is I think? What is this and why does it affect the it circuit?

If that white connector contains 5 wires in/out, that's going to the ignition pickups and the neutral light switch. Any bad connections in that will stop the ignition from getting a signal to fire. That part of the harness is also known for cracked wires from age/heat, moisture can short the wires to each other and cause problems. A failure in the wiring to the oil pressure sender will simply turn the oil light on, it won't affect anything else unless that wire shorts to another wire.

At last thanks cs that's brilliant! Time to check!

Sorted now thanks both.
