I bought a TX1300, few questions

[secondgearandstillgoing]

The steering wheel can be taken off then loosen the four bolts holding the dash on and you can work it off the steering shaft. The wires don't have much slack usually so you have to play with it a bit. You might need to remove the voltage regulator to make more room. You can also take off the red caps as they are threaded. Seems like last time I did this it allowed the light socket to fall down so I had to remove the dash anyway. Check for +12VDC at the oil switch and water temp switch before doing anything (i.e. do the easy checks first). If they have +12VDC then run each to ground with a jumper wire and see if the corresponding light works. It may be fine. If not then troubleshoot the lights and wiring under the dash. If the light works when jumping to ground then the switches have likely failed.

i had the same problem with mine no oil light i just loosened the 4 bolts eased up the dash as far as the wires would go and with a torch i could see the oil light had dropped away mine is one of these push and twist and was a loose fit i give it a little squeeze to make it a tighter fit as soon as i connected it back on it worked hope its an easy job for you

Thanks for all the help so far. I am getting only 8V at the oil pressure switch, but I am getting 12V at the water temp switch. I took the steering wheel off, removed the voltage regulator and was able to get the dash off. 2 of the 3 bulbs were blown, the oil sensor bulb and the alternator bulb. NAPA thinks they found me an oil pressure sensor that will work for only $10 so I told them to order me one. NAPA was not able to get me bulbs however, they told me they do not sell any that small. With a little research I found that they are 9mm bayonet style bulbs (BA9s). Found a 10pk on ebay for $10. Hopefully by this weekend I will have my electrical issues all fixed. I will let you know how it ends up.
