Chimaera oil pressure dashboard light not working
Discussion
Recently (and intermittently) the dashboard oil pressure lamps on my 1996 Chim don't light when the ignition is turned on.
With the engine running, the oil pressure is fine.
The Bible only refers to the oil pressure sensor, but I suspect I have a faulty oil warning lamp switch (or possibly dirty connectors).
Does anyone know where the switch is located on a Serpentine engine, and whether the part is TVR-specific?
Thanks.

Pull the cable off and put it to ground .With the engine running, the oil pressure is fine.

I eventually found a connector with a single wire on it about halfway along and halfway up the block (driver's side), I had to access it from under the car and had to thread my hand between the front wishbone and other bits. Anyway, I gave it a wiggle, checked the oil light...and it's now on!
Pulled off the connector - oil light went out....re-connected it, oil light came back on.
Cleaned up terminals, reconnected connector and poured a beer to reward myself
