Hi folks

1990, 1275 cooper

Attached is a pic of my oil pressure switch. I’ve only just realised that the indicator light on my dash is not working (after driving the car all summer!). I guess there should be a low pressure light which comes on, next to the ignition light on the dash?

To test if it’s the sensor or the bulb in the dash, if I unplug the sensor, the light still doesn’t come on. Should I try shorting the wire to an Earth point on the car?

If I need a new switch, will I just buy a standard one from minispares? I can’t seem to find one that looks like my current one.

Thanks for the help.

earthing the sensor wire should cause the bulb to light

thanks. Earthing the sensor did indeed turn the light on- so I've ordered a new switch.
