    Oil pressure jumps

    It's been a awhile but I have finally been able to swap out the oil pressure switch with a mechanical one and as of right now the pressure stays steady at 50. But my engine light stays on how do I get this to stay off since the switch is not installed?

    Issues with starting

    How would I check for a short? I have good continuity on the switch and all wires. I checked the switch and even tripped to reset just to make sure. Is there another way to check the switch to see if it's defective? I tried to take the brown wire to the pink and black and still nothing happens.
