Oil light on with full oil

[onspeed]

Noticed the oil level light come on as I was coming home today, pulled over to take a look at the sight glass as it was within range. Continued home, filled oil to the top mark and the light is still on. Any ideas other than a bad sensor?

 

[scuff]

was It on all the time or just under acceleration?, coming on under acceleration is normal, if it's on all the time would be a bad sensor, it only senses the presence of oil not pressure

On all the time, acceleration or just sitting idle.

Check / inspect the oil sending unit wire (white) starting from the sending unit, it might be grounded along the way?

It was an issue with the starter button.

Explain please.

Oil light and reserve light turns on when the starter button is pressed. I knew I was low on gas so I assumed the reserve light was on from the tank sensor verus the button. Filled the tank, light still on, wiggled the wiring a bit and everything back to normal.

For point of future reference: When your starter switch sticks it also shuts off the headlight.
