intermitent oil light?

[treed2@u.washington.edu (T. Reed)]

It's easy to test the PCB too because you can just ground or not ground
the wires that go to the sensors (I think for one of the circuits to
activate you have to rev above 2500 rpm) and see when the LED and/or
buzzer come on. Bentley has the details.

The sensors are like $3-$4 so replacement is an easy way of assuring you
have good ones.
