Oil Pressure Warning Indicator

The Fuel Pump and Engine Oil Pressure Indicator Switch is a two position switch which opens when engine oil pressure is greater than 24 kPa (3psi). The opening of the switch interrupts the ground path of the warning indicator, turning it off. If the oil pressure falls below 24 kPa (3psi), the switch closes causing the warning indicator to light.
