<VV> Temp/Pressure light problem.

Matt,
 
You can't read Jersey? Brian said there's power to one wire at the socket,  
but not the other. The problem has got to be there. There's got to be an 
open in  the socket, since the bulb is good.

Those lights are turned on by a Ground!   Go to your engine  compartment 
and find your oil pressure SWITCH...  that Wire  should  also go to another 
connector that splits off to the Cylinder head   Overtemp Switch.


The oil pressure switch  should not see any  oil pressure at this time... 
so it should ground it's wire..  The head  temp  is OPEN  until the Cyl. hd. 
Temp hits 525f  or so..   so it cannot make a ground.


Ground the wire at the OP   Switch and see if the light illuminates......  
if so... bat  switch!


Here's where the wiring diagram comes into  play...


IF  your CORSA  has the BUZZER...  then the  wiring becomes more complex up 
under the dash.

I have a  baffling problem with the Temp/Pressure light on the dash of my 
65 Corsa  convertible.  It does not come on when I turn on the ignition.  
With  the ignition on I get power to the back of the socket on the BLK/RED  
wire.  There is no power at the back of the socket on the other-light  
blue-wire.  The bulb is good.  Any  
help?____________________________________________________________
