efi conversion still playing up wish i never done this conversion now it been off the road for fucking ages

problem 109826 oil light will not go out oil; pressure switch is fine oil pressure gauge is fine oil light on dash is on now what is causing that

 

unplug the senser and earth it out and c if the light goes out it could be the switch

 

na mate switch is fine


you wasnt letting fireworks off earlier was you i couldnt here the film i was watching was coming from your direction lol

 

nah fella just back in from my mums

i found a water temp senser if you want it (it came off my old s2 which was working )

have you earthed out the wire to c if the switch is playing about my old s1 did this rebuilt the engine and so on did 300 miles then the oil light stayed on ended up being a faulty switch ( which was brand new and from fords )

ive also had the threads being dirty so it wouldnt make a good contact on the block

 

i will see if it earths out and take it from there fella


i cant see the other problem being a faulty water temp switch its doing my head in now i almost stripped it the other day and sold it in bits the dam dagenham rust bucket is doing my head in lol

 

ive got a job on at the min when i finish ill give you a bell and have a quick look for ya fella dont sell it dude you will regret

unless you wanna swap for the van lol

 

if you would of asked me the other day i probally would of swapped it lol

 

just because its a new part doesnt mean it works lol, even from ford, we get them all the time where i work.
hope you sort it soon mate, dont sell it you will regret it.
cheers mark

 

have u wired it up right.. cos when i last did the conversion mine i had to wire the oil pressure switch to the relays!!

 

ah here we go this could be the problem please explain

 

Personally, i reckon you've taken the wire for the oil pressure light and connected it to earth, being as its brown with a coloured stripe.

If you wire in a fiesta EEC IV loom really you should just cut the wire out of the fiesta loom and use the one thats already in your loom.

 

yes i am using a fiesta loom which colour is it shall i just wire it into the original wire

 

Brown/Green i THINK on the fiesta loom.

 

so i just wire that into the existing oil pressure switch plug

 

well you must of cut it at some point so just re-join the standard wires back to how they were previouosly
