VR- Oil warning light ON

[dean18]

I washed engine used compressed air to blow rest of water..when i start engine oil light is off for few seconds and stays on for rest of time..didnt have this problem before i washed car..can someone give some ideas where is a problem thanks

Yep ...the water has got into the oil pressure switch.There is a seal around the wiring connector ...maybe it has fallen off.To fix the switch you need to take it out and turn it upside down and let all the water drain out the little hole near the lugs and then blow out gently with compressed air to get rid of the last bit.It should be ok after that...maybe use a bit of dewatering fluid if it persists.

Yea you should always cover that guy when you wash your engine. Take the cover off and blow with compressed air, then use a bit, A BIT, of WD-4. Just a squirt. The problem will be gone in a day or two.
