Oil level indicator

[85_Ranger4x4]

After playing with my cluster for a few days I notice I have a check oil light... I know I have the sensor in the pan... sensor just acts as ground for the light and it should work?

Oil level switch is open(not grounded) if oil level is OK, if I remember right.

It also has an "anti-slosh" circuit like the fuel level does, so it doesn't go on and off when cornering.

Link works, any idea where said relay would be at?

Don't know, never looked for it, but....... the back side of the instrument cluster would be my best guess same as fuel level anti-slosh unit.

FYI, it isn't a relay, it is a timer circuit
