i just changed the oil pressure switch on my car and now the oil light goes on in the dashboard. anybody has any idea what caused this? maybe a defected OPS?

Could be defective, could be bad wiring or a dirty connection... could actually be low oil pressure.

maybe the first three you said deev. i doubt it low oil pressure because the light wasnt on before i replaced it, will check it though.Originally posted by deevergote View PostComment

make sure the sensor is in there good i know when i changed the oil on my da teg i hit the sensor and it was a lil loose the light came on so that all might be it that and check you oil and see if you have the ammount you needComment

the thing is, when your on a stop, the light stays and when you go accelerate, it starts to blink. does that mean anything? im gonna try to change the plug tomorrow.Comment

whenever my oil light came on it started blinkin', so i got out the haynes and figured out the cover to the oil switch was caked so i cleaned it up wala no more light!Comment

every body got oil light issues lol.
for me, when i turn the car on it starts to blink rite away, if i turn it off, and back on, it will go away. ill check my sensor i guess, but the motor still runs strong.

Glad you figured it out.
It's a pain when stores don't know what they're dealing with. Sadly, most of them are that way. My friend applied for a store manager position at Autozone... "no automotive knowledge required".

It's sad, alot of places won't hire you if you say you have experience working on cars and stuff. The days of knowledgeable staff are long gone at most places, specially at lube places, they want you to not know anything so they can "train" you. Any suggestions you get from the kids at shucks or autozone will most likely now be derived from what his "boi" who has a "hatchi roku" told him.Originally posted by deevergote View Post

Yeah, very true... Or from what they've picked up from customers, who may know even less than they do.
I walked into Autozone once with an oxygen sensor in my hand. I asked the guy behind the counter if he had an oxygen sensor bung in stock. His face lit up like a puppy that pleased his master, he bounded onto the sales floor, trotted over to the special tools section, and proudly displayed an oxygen sensor socket. You know... so I could properly remove the part that I had IN MY HAND. I wished I had a rolled up newspaper at that moment... Once I explained what I was looking for monosylabically, the guy let me wander around in the stock area myself to search for what I wanted. No luck.
I never saw that employee again. Maybe he ended himself.
Pep Boys actually has a service department, though. Some of those guys SHOULD know some stuff. Of course, the service guys don't sell the parts. They just turn the wrenches.
