If lamp and buzzer are on with engine running:

2. Check switch by disconnecting wire with ignition
switch in ON position. Light should go out.

4. Install test gauge in engine oil pressure switch port.
Start engine and check oil pressure. If engine oil pres-
sure is good, replace switch. If engine pressure is low,
