Yes. The sensor connects the wire to ground when there is no oil pressure and that sounds the buzzer. If the sensor is defective, it will not connect the wire to ground and the buzzer will not sound. So... If you connect the wire to ground, you are doing what the sensor should do, and the buzz

"to connect the wire on the sensor to the engine block. The buzzer should sound. If it does sound, the sensor is faulty. If there is still no buzzer, you have some other wiring problem which we can discuss then." This Is what you said . Is this correct? On 10/30/13, Rich Knowles wrote: > The bu

The buzzer should sound when the engine oil pressure is low or zero and when the engine is stopped. The sensor is a normally closed switch which means that, in a rest position with no oil pressure, it connects the wire on it to the engine block which is ground. To diagnose, Turn on the key, do N

The easiest way to check an oil pressure switch is to disconnect the wire from the pressure switch, turn on the key switch to the "RUN" (not START) position, and then ground the wire. The buzzer should buzz. If not, then the problem is somewhere in the wiring harness. Assuming that you the
