Default FRST - Oil light / Pressure Switch

Hi people,
my oil light has stopped working on my fiesta Rs. When you turn the Ign on it doesn't light up!
I took the dials out and swaped a bulb which i knew worked and still nothing!
I have a Multi meter, is there anyway to test the pressure switch still works cause its still pluged in.... Also may be a silly question but is there a separete fuse for the oil light.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Danny

no seperate fuse, just check that the oil pressure switch on the back of the block earths when engine isn't running.
it'll probably be faulty IMO.

take the wire from the switch and earth it, if the bulb lights then the switch is faulty, it's in my previous post.
