Subject:Oil pressure switch problem
From:Solange B�rub�

I've been dealing with this stupid oil pressure switch problem and need
some help. Note that I have no reason to think that my motor has a true
low oil pressure problem.

Here's what's happening: the oil pressure light and buzzer kick in when
the  motor rpm hits plus/minus 2000-2500 rpm. When I accelerate back
above 2000-2500 rpm, the light and the buzzer go off.

I have changed both switches (high and low) now and had the wires
checked and I keep getting the problem. Any suggestion what I should do
now ? Am I right by thinking that since the buzzer goes on, the problem
is related to the high "low oil pressure" switch (the one in front of
the motor). Should I start thinking about changing the control board
located behind the speedometer ?

Thanks a lot everybody.
