Indicator Lights and Circuits (GM 3000)
Note: Individual light bulbs can be tested by removing
them from the lighting cluster and applying 12 VDC to
their wiring terminals (Fig 63).
Low Oil Pressure Light
The oil pressure light should come on when the ignition
switch is in the ON position with the engine not running.
Also, it should light with the engine running when the oil
pressure drops below 7 PSI (0.48 Bar).
1. Disconnect gray wire from the oil pressure switch.
2. Ground gray wire to the engine block.

High Coolant Temperature Light
The temperature light should come on only if the high
temperature shutdown switch and relay have stopped
the engine when the coolant temperature is from 245 to
255_F (118 to 124_C). The ignition switch must be in ei-
ther the ON or START position for the light to come on.
1. Disconnect gray wire from the high temperature
shutdown switch.
2. Ground the gray wire to the engine block.
