: Oil light

I have a 94 Indy 500 EFI. At idle RPM's(about 1800) all my lights are dim and my oil warning light is flashing. When I ride the sled it stops doing this. It seems as soon as the RPM's get above 3000 everything is fine! I am going on a long trip this weekend and need any help possible to fix this tonight! *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

brenty, i don' drive the exact sled so take this advise lightly.At idle the magnetal (sorry for the spelling)does not put out enough power to run every thing on high, this is normal.Check the oil level, if it is not low on some machines the brake light and oil light or temp light *are shared.IF no luck there check for short.

Hey doonorth, thanks for the reply. I have plenty of oil. My brake and oil light are side by side and the brake light works properly. I guess I'll have to check for a short! http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

I've seen it before also, once you take them out and bounce them around the trail everything starts working fine. *Check your grounds, but don't worry too much about it.
