Rep Power: 0 oil light
Hi everyone I did a search but couldn't find anything.
I did and auto to manual swap on my 02 civic ex and I was using the auto harness and auto ecu, everything was fine.
over the weekend I changed the engine harness to a manual one and I am still using the AUTO for now.
My problem is after i did the engine harness change over and start the car my oil light turns on. I check my oil and its full i also did an oil change last week.
is any other reasons why it would turn on??
it was fine when I had the Auto harness on..
could it be because I am using the auto ecu with a manual engine harness?
any help would be great thank you.

Re: oil light
either its a coincidence and your motor is fxcked or its a wiring problem. oil light has nothing to do with the oil level. the oil light notifies you if your oil pressure is under i think 7.5lbs of oil pressure. they call it the dummy light because if its on and the sensor is functioning the way its supposed to be it basically means replace your motor. because any motor under 7.5lbs oil pressure is damaged already. check your oil pressure sender wiring.. it either could be a bad connection, the sensor is broke, or it means your motor is ****ed. lol. more than likely its bad wiring.

ok i can't remember seeing one directly above the filter i remember one a little to the left and above the filter but I will check it out tomorrow.
I don't think my engine is messed up because it was working perfectly fine before I changed the harness but i hope its still fine and its just a sensor or a lose wire.
thank you for you help I will post back what I find.
