So my problem started a few months ago but lately it has been happening increasingly more often. My oil light turns on when I’m braking, but only if I’m at close to a complete stop, or a complete stop. It turns on solidly, no blinking until I start to drive. Once I start driving it will blink, but if I step on the brakes it will light up solidly again. Every time this has happenned I pull over,turn my car off, back on, and the problem stops (for the moment). Lately though it happens a lot more often. I drove my girlfriends son to school this morning and had to pull over three times and turn my car off to make the oil light stop(4 miles round trip). The light will also turn on while driving (pretty much any speed) if I put the car in nuetral, and let the clutch out. Same behavior from the light. Braking causes it to light up solidly, while no braking causes it to blink. I don’t think that I’m actually losing oil pressure because whenever i turn it off the light goes away for at least a few minutes.
Just FYI, I’ve recently replaced the guage cluster and the ICU, both since the problem started.
I’ve searched but haven’t been able to find an answer for what is causing this. I’m guessing its a bad conection or a bad sending unit. Any advice for what to check would be extremely helpful. THANK YOU!
