Subject:Oil light?
From:Paul M. Hillbish

Hey listees, Need to fish for some knowledge and or past experiences to help
solve what I think is a problem. Tonight, I had to move the van to another
parking spot. So, I took it around the block and parked it. Not even a 2
minute trip. When I parked, I noticed that my oil light had come on, not
bright, but very dim. You barely notice it if the lights are on, and it is
just noticeable when the lights are off. I cocked my head at the situation,
and checked my oil. It's full. It's actually a little over full. Would this
be a cause? Or could I have an electrical short in my sensor? I'm curious if
anyone has any suggestions to fix this. Aside from the inevitable body work
that I need to do, I have had no problems whatsoever with it. So I want to
nip it in the butt so to speak. Thank you.
