stop warning light help
« on: April 26, 2012, 06:46:44 pm »
earlier today whilst driving through the massive droughts around here ::) the STOP oil check light cam on after pulling over and getting soaked checking the oil and swearing loads found still had loads of oil.

tried turning ignition on and off still no good so decided to risk the half mile to garage and as soon as i moved light was flashing on and off like a tacky disco light so came to the conclusion ( all by myself) that i had dislodged the wire to the sensor

so  question is where is the sensor located on an 2001 1.4 8v plz  O0

Don't forget the oil warning light is a PRESSURE warning.  Lots oil in the sump on hence on the dipstick does not meean the pump is working and circulating the oil.
