Oil & Fuel Oil pressure light flickering

509diesel · Mar 15, 2013

Hi guys,

I recently got a T233 new and it has about 13 hours on it, but today the oil pressure light started to flicker. This happens even at idle, I was curious if anyone knew why this might happen. The dealer is closed till Monday so I will give them a call then, but looking for ideas in the meantime.

I checked the oil level and it is fine and the tractor seems to idle fine, so I am thinking maybe it is an issue with the sensor?

I removed the sending unit and hooked up a oil pressure gauge. Everthing on mine was fine . It showed good pressure at idle and while running at more RPM's. The sending unit had recieved a good dose of cleanig fluid and it had gone bad. It is nice to see actual numbers. Removed the actual gauge and replaced the sending unit for under 20 dollars.

2458n,

I like that idea, I too want to see the actual pressure numbers so they can be monitored. I may take it one step further, if there's enough room and sending unit port is in a protected location. I'd like to install a "T" so the warning light sending unit and a pressure gauge can be installed. Best of both, a warning light to get your attention and a pressure gauge to see what the oil pressure is.

Thanks!
