Oil pressure sender and Central Warning Light "!"
Hi,
I’ve replaced my oil pressure sender because the old one was always “flickering” although it seems to read more or less correct, 5 when cold, between 2 and 3 when hot, both at idle, and 5 in normal driving condition when the engine reaches 2000/3000rpm.
Now the new sender is pegged at 5, whether cold, hot, idling or running!!
I’m using Mobil 1 15w50, but I believe that’s not the problem.
Could it be as simple as reversed wires at the sender?
Another problem that has appeared is that the central warning light and the cancel button are always flashing at idle. No other lights on, and with a small touch to increase rpm the lights go off.
Battery and alternator have been replaced two years ago, and when the car is parked for a long time I use a battery conditioner.
What can be causing this?
TIA for your answers and help, much appreciated!
Regards

your wires are swapped at the sender.
check the CE panel for clean fuse connections,
and also check the battery,
and 14 pin connector under the hood,
and the alternator belt for tightness
