warninglamp on the dashpanel...
« on: June 18, 2014 - 03:59:11 PM »
Hi!
There is a red lamp just under the clock that dont want to stop light..
What i understand this is a warninglamp for Oil pressure??
My oil pressure is about 80 psi when i run normally and about 60 psi on idle, according to my pressure meter.

What should i do??

I am not aware of any oil pressure lights on Challengers.  The rally dash has a brake light above the clock.  It is lit when the parking brake is depressed.  The standard dashes typically don't have clocks, and there are no lights where the clock would be added.

Sounds like you have a standard dash and an aftermarket oil gauge. At least you have good oil pressure. I'd disconnect the wire from the oil pressure sending unit and see it the light goes out. If it does, replace the sending unit. If it doesn't, that wire is probably grounding out somewhere.
