Should be full bright regardless of other conditions. Bad connection for
that circuit or a bad ground for the cluster.

Subject: Dim Oil LIght, Ign. On Engine Off

Hey people.

Am testing new "T14" connectors I wired in so brake warning light is not
connected.

I'm running a "Dynamic Oil Pressure "L" board. Oil light has always worked
fine.

Looking here:

this may be a clue, but if someone could confirm....

Key turned to ign. on, engine off, would an UN-connected brake light switch
cause the oil light to be dim and non functioning (not flashing as usual)?

Neil.
