Oil light on, oil full on dipstick
Hey guys, like the zillionth issue I've had with this car so far.
The oil level light (the light in the oil pressure gauge) comes on sporadically, sometimes at idle, sometimes at WOT and everywhere in between. In comes on sometimes for a few seconds, and other times for the whole time I'm driving.
Every single time I drive the car I check the oil level and always kept it at full. So not sure why this light keeps coming on... I don't know if its the sender thats bad. Its due for an oil change but otherwise the oil level is kept consistent.
I know the oil pressure sensor is funky sometimes but is there a common issue with the light thats common? Is it triggered by the same sender?

The sensor is nothing but a simple float type switch. I fixed mine when it went bad the first time due to the wiring braking at the sensor. After the second time, I just removed it as an open wire does not give an alarm.
Early rotaries did not have the sensor. It is for IDIOTS that do not routinely check out their engine oil level. Running 100% premix or a external OMP tank make the sensor even more useless.

FC and FD use the exact same connector, just the wire length is longer on the FD. The FC sensor is listed at a higher price than the FD. (FC $136/ FD $126)
Unplug it and see if the light stops flickering, if it continues then you have a short between the sensor and warning light.
