Check the connector at the oil pressure switch on the rear of the engine,
this is the one to the left and down beside the crankshaft pulley. Also,
there is a double wiring connector on top the engine block left side,
probably under the manifold, two brown wires feeding from both oil pressure
switches. Check for good connections both places, as well as a broken wire
from the rear switch to the double connector.
