Can someone explain exactly how the low oil alarm works?
Here is what mine is doing
turn Key on and a beep every second startes and the oil light on dash is on. I pulled the oil level switch out of engine mounted resovoir. If the float is all the way down it sounds the alarm, float half way up the alarm quits but returns when the float is all the way up and the red light never goes out no matter the position. I do get the system ok check beep when i first turn key on and its on 50:1 premix right now.
So is it safe to say sensor is bad? Better way to check?
Is the red light also tied to the float switch or another sensor?
And why have red light and beeper? or is one supposed to sound before the other?
How do i bypass this just to see if light goes off? Unhook wires and leave them or short them together?
Sorry for all the question but all the searching ive done has just lead to more questions than answers and figured someone here would have first hand experience, thanks in advance.
