Wiring looks ok now. I'll check again tomorrow when the sun comes out. Where can I get a good oil pressure gauge for my van it on that is electrically operated. Not too familiar with brand names. Hopefully I can find a kit that looks nice below the dash.Stewart Warner or VDO units?

It comes up and meets with another brown wire from the other oil switch at a 2 pin connector by the thermostat housing. It is common for there to be a bad connection inside that 2 pin connector. Open it up and look closely. The other side of the 2 pin connector should have a yellow wire and a blue/black wire. The brown wire from the oil switch in question MUST connect to the yellow wire. Sometimes the connector gets so damaged that someone cuts it out and splices the wires to each other. If that has happened then it is vital to make sure that the right wires got joined.
