Got to look at my new 1g for a couple of minutes, story is 12 years ago the oil light came on and it quit. No major fuses popped but this sure looks suspicious. Accumulated rodent wizz makes it hard to tell if it was the death blow. Anyone seen a short out or get hot there? Itching to start trouble shooting, gotta power wash it out 1st.

Does that help you? Sorry I wasn't able to post the photo at 1st, your just too quick!

Probably the o2 sensor heater wire shorted.

That looks like the fuel injector harness to me.. if there was a short there, it probably wouldn't throw an oil light.

Plus I do not see any bare wires, or any sign that the wiring has degraded. So i would keep looking for another solution because I do not think that has anything to do with it.

Remove the melted plastic cover to see if there is a melted wire in there, if everything looks good, then discard that area and look for the problem some were else.

Yea I know, was just curious if anyone has seen this before. I will check other things once it's cleaned out and have time.

Got time to work on it today. None of the wires were shorted, oil light was on because the wire was broken to the sender. The engine is not locked up. So far I'm happy with what I'm finding.
