Oil light question

[Ghost1984]

Alright I was sitting in line at the drag strip waiting to get in, and I had been sitting there for a few minutes after about a 30 minute drive, and I notice my oil light flickering. Ive seen it before in the past and I've checked my oil level and its always fine, and my oil pressure is fine. I dont think it has anything to do with that, it only seems to happen when theres a lot of things running (cooling fans, lights on) When i got home from the track I had my car idling in the driveway and it didnt do it.....as soon as the cooling fans came on, i turned my headlights on too and the light started flickering again. Whats causing this to happen? Should I be worried?

I'd say faulty sensor or loose wiring look on the oil filter housing.

The oil pressure switch which controls that lite is the small sensor with wire attached.

i know this is kind of off topic but i didnt feel like posting a new thread.

would the oil pressure switch be the same on a 90 as the 91-99, because i was at a website and it had that part for 91-99 and not 90

thanks

I would say no, because the oil cooler setup is different for the '90, as is alot of the wiring.
