1981 wagon DL oil pressure light on
Hello!
I just purchased a 1981 DL wagon and the oil pressure light has been on all day (I just bought it this morning). It needs to be taken for an inspection before the insurance can be finalized, but I'm wondering if there are any quick things to check before I get it into the shop as the last owner had only ever seen it on while it was idling. Any help would be appreciated! |

dually noted!
Ok! I am going to go out and check the wiring to see if that is the issue, and then if not the car will go in the mechanic for further diagnosis. Hopefully it's not as severe as one would think.

If memory serves me correctly, the oil light wire runs under the crank pulley. Often, the insulation deterioration common in the older cars will cause the wire to ground out. That's assuming your o.p. checks out.
