Anyway where is the light? What does it look like?
Ahhhhhh its mechanical in the cars too hmmmmmm? It's mechanical in the Unimog also. This 617turbo is one that is transplanted into a Unimog.

Oil gauge.. it's the one that says "OIL" but it may be for the Unimog engine?? and it has not line running to it if I recall. The warning light is electric and it is yellow, it's intensity changes. The light has an older style bulb in it. I can see the element get briter and dimmer. It's OLD. buttttttt then agian the PO (previouse Owner) is a Nanotech engineer soooooo who knows what he came up with. Where on the engine was this electrical package's sending unit installed?

The rig got an italian tune up sunday. Today the light only came on fer a second and at a very low intesity. This is much to my relief but I still wish I knew what it was.
