I was gitt'nit down the interstate here one day in heavy traffic whe all
of a sudden the oil light suddenly came on and the buzzer began to how.
Scared the pooty out'n' me! I opulled over to the side of the road an
found that a belt had failed. I thought, well, that has nothing to do
with the oil. So I fired it  back up and let it idle, and everything
seemed fine.  I pulled back onto the highway and the instant the engine
hit 200 rpm the lights cam on and the alarm sounded. I pulled over
again, and hanother look. I then found the failed belt  had knocked the
connector off the first time. Slipped it back on and it was good to go.
