oil light UPDATE
on my fiesta 2.0 si the oil light usually comes on for a second and then goes off when i turn the ignition on, but tonight it didnt do it no matter how many times i turned the igntion, i drove home really slowly (under 2miles) just to be on the safe side now what can it be? im gonna start with the obvious tomorow and change the bulb but does anybody know what it might mean, i looked in haynes and it only stated for when the bulb was on with the engine running, or am i just being paranoid? thanks

the light is a warning light of low oil pressure
as when you first turn ignition on there is no oil pressure
when you start the engine oil pressure quickly builds up the light should go out if not
1st check wiring
2nd replace oil pressure switch
3rd get oil pressure gauge and check pressure
if low requires new oil pump or has blocked pick up in sump
hope this helps
