- Open the hood of your car and locate the oil pressure warning light. It is usually located near the engine filter. If you have more than one oil pressure warning light, find the one closest to where the engine filter is located.
- Remove the filter by unscrewing it and pulling it out. Make sure to wash it before reinstalling it because there could be debris on it that can cause problems later on.
- Inspect the wiring harness near where the oil pressure warning light is located. There may be a broken or loose wire that needs to be replaced. If there is no broken or loose wire, then simply tighten any loose connectors with a wrench so that they are snug against each other.
- Reinstall the oil filter by screwing it back in place and tightening the connector screws. Finally, reattach the wiring harness and check for continuity between each connector should any be missing or faulty. Once everything has been checked and confirmed to work properly, replace the oil pressure warning light bulb with a new one if required
