Idiot light on

I have oil pressure on my 93 but the dam idiot light stays on, and it's annoying. Where is the sending unit for the light?

If its the Low Oil Light, and you have the LT1 - I believe the sender is in the oil pan on the drivers side.

The sender is above the oil filter on the TBIs. I don't recall my 91 having a light for oil pressure, just the gauge. If its the low oil level light that one is on the pan.

Jarrod, my 92 used to do the same thing. It would go off if I cycled the key.

Ok my oil level is fine and my oil pressure is 40 psi. It's just the dam light on the climate control panel.

Jay how do you cycle the ignition key.

Turn car off, turn car on. It always worked for me. I would do it while driving... I hated seeing the light.

On yours if it stays on all the time, this probably won't work. Mine was intermittent.

The sender is the same part as the pressure sender on the block above and behind the oil filter. The sender is easy to replace and not too expensive. I believe it has a switch as well as the rehostat for pressure variation.

Thanks Fred next order of business.

Wait a minute guys. He said the light on the climate control. This is the low oil sender. Jarrod the sender for this is located in the side of the oil pan. If you want to loose the light and your sure the oil level is fine, then just unplug it. Don't know how much a new sender is, but you can wait till the next oil change to replace it.

On your Next oil change remove it, try cleaning it,and put it back in? or pick up a new one SU1312 is the AZ part number runs around $38.00

My low oil light is in my instrument cluster on my OCC. If the low oil light is in the CC, then the sender is on the driver's side of the oil pan.

Two different sensors, two different places, but usually part of the same wiring harness group.
Both located on the driver's side, one is pressure, located above the oil filter, the other is low level out of the side of the pan

My harness went over the back of the bell housing and split into sub harnesses to go back to the tranny and forward to the sensors, also had the O2 sensor wire in the harness as well.

The pressure sensor is a bit of a pain in the butt to change due to location behind the exhaust manifolds, but the pressure sensor is easier to get to.

Ok Thanks again now that I knw there are 2 sensors and the one I am after is on the oil pan then that is what I will change.

I want to know if that works for you.On my OCC the oil pressure gauge stays pegged except
when hot and in drive idling.Then the gauge will drop to its normal position.As soon as I touch the
gas the gauge jumps over to a completely horizontal position.

Jim sounds like you need a new pressure switch

Yea ,I bought a new switch and it cost me 45 bucks.I think its located directly above the oil
filter.The sensor is identical to another one on the oil pan.Next oil change,its going on along
with a bunch of other things.

i'll keep you posted Jim. Won't be doing it right off but soon. I have wife drive the car now so it doesn't bother me. LOL! She could careless.

My '92 did the same thing, changed the sending unit and all is good now.

I got the 16 buck Airtex unit, probably make them for Delco.

I need to correct what I said about the sensors being identical.They look identical externally but
are completely different and not interchangable.The pressure switch is 3 times more money,at
least mine was.

idiot light is for,..........?????

Nick I was talking about my oil light on climate control panel.
