Re: Grounded wire to Oil Pressure warning light 200 1984

posted by  someone claiming to be Stephen on  Sun Mar 4 09:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

You might want to try disconnecting the wiring harness to the back of the insturments and disconnect the lead to the oil pressure sensor. Then take a multi-meter and test the resistance of the wire, relative to the ground. Hook one wire of the meter to the wire and one to the engine. If you get low resistance or 0 ohms you probably have a short. I know the insulation has been know to deteriorate on some model years.

I beleive this will work. It has been a while since I have looked at the wiring diagram of a 240. I am reanoably certain that this wire only goes to the instument panel and oil pressure sensor. I have been wrong in the past, when firing off from the tip of my brain!

Hope this helps.
