1st Gen R53 Cooper S Most liked posts in thread: No oil 'idiot' light...

Have you pulled the switch....
Being a simple pressure switch, it might just be stuck in one position aka, failed internally.

 

Quicker to check it with a ohm meter... If it's closed an ohm meter will let you know...

 

often times pulling the plug to find out if the plug is full of oil is a good way to check also.

 

First, as a sanity check, can you other guys verify this (I no longer have a MINI to check myself)? I know some lights come on but I don't remember if the oil light was one of them.

What i mean by my post is the plug for the pressure sender.
Sorry if that was not clear.
