How was the idle? (normal/low/erratic) Did you remove any hose or connector (besides the oil pressure switch connector) which you forgot to reconnect? It didn´t die before changing the oil pressure switch?That the oil light comes on after the engine dies, is normal. When does it die, on a cold engine, or after warming up?
What does the ding ding ding light mean?
If I give gas to start moving it goes off. Come to a stop, “ding” on. Begin driving… well, you get the point. It’s a 2005 5.7 with 122222 miles on it. I checked the oil and it’s on the lower end of the “safe” zone. Drives without hesitation and doesn’t sound like anything is really wrong.
What does it mean when your oil pressure light Dings?
The car runs fine, and fifteen minutes later, when I get to where I’m going, the idle drops real low and the oil light dings. It’s not knocking or banging or anything like that. If you can keep the revs up while braking, you can stop the thing from going off, but it is a stressful way to drive.
Why does my oil light come on when I Turn Hard?
If the light is coming on at such speeds the level is very low. You need to change or refill immediately. Your engine is experiencing what’s known as oil starvation. You might notice that when you turn hard on a curved on ramp that the motor loses power due to a momentary lack of lubrication. This condition is severely harmful to your engine.

What does it mean when the oil warning light flashes?
In some vehicles, warning lights may also flash to indicate urgency. An oil warning light may appear, or start to flash, if your vehicle is experiencing any of the following engine oil-related issues: This is the primary cause of oil warning alerts. An engine needs oil to reduce friction between all the moving parts, ensuring it can run smoothly.
Why does the oil pressure light come on when there is no oil in the engine?
Low Engine Oil Level To create an oil pressure in the engine, the engine needs to pressurize oil. If there is no oil to pressurize, it will be impossible for the oil pump to properly do its job. If your oil pressure light comes on and sometimes disappears, especially when you turn the car, a low engine oil level may cause it.
Why does the oil light come on on my Grand Cherokee?
Click to expand… Same issues as on my 03 grand cherokee and my Oldsmobile when i had it. Replace the oil pressure sensor/sender if you have not already. Its the culprit 9 times outta ten. Replaced the oils pressure switch and it still is having problems. It will randomly die, then the oil light comes on.
What causes the oil warning light to flicker?
If the engine oil level is low, this is causing the oil warning light to flicker. This is most likely what is responsible for the occasional flickering of the oil warning light. More specifically, a low oil level will cause the oil pressure inside the engine to temporarily drop. When this happens, the warning light will flicker.
Why does the oil light come on when I come to a stop?
This sounds like you have a bearing clearance that is excessive enough to cause the oil pressure at low engine rpms (when the oil pump’s output is lowest) to fall below the oil sending unit pressure threshold for when the light turns on. That threshold is often in the 7 psi range. I would try missleman’s suggestion for a new sending unit first.
What to do when oil pressure light comes on?
My car has an automatic transmission. When the oil pressure light comes on, the engine oil is loosing oil pressure. I recommend performing an oil change and filter change with a good brand filter. If the light is still coming on, then hook up a mechanical oil pressure gauge to the engine and monitor what the oil pressure is doing.
Why is the oil pressure light on my dashboard?
There are actually two scenarios when the oil pressure light is on your dashboard. One of them is that it is a false alarm and there is a problem with the oil pressure sensor or the wirings to it. The other scenario is that your engine actually has low oil pressure, which is a little bit more serious.
