Hi.. New to this forum and need some help. I have spend days googling and forum-ing to try to find an answer to this and I am stumped. I have an 1990 325i E30 M20 and out of nowhere the oil level idiot light came on (the one up near the rear view mirror). Now I know that the oil is not low it is on the upper mark. As all forums suggest, I removed the oil level sensor from the sump and cleaned it. The ball bearing moved fine and it was definitely clean. Put it back and still the light stayed on. I gave time for the oil to circulate through the small hole in the level sensor. The light is still on. Checked the wiring and it all seems fine. The connection on the sensor is good, block is Ok and following the wires back to the loom is good too.
I tried to jump the block connector to bypass the oil level sensor and try to turn the light off. No matter what combination I tried with the three wires that light would not go off. I grounded them, connected them, every single combination had no effect...
Someone even said to jump the service port to reset it (I think it was number 7 and 19 or something like that I can't remember off hand), I did that still no change.
What am I missing? I could ignore the light but that isn't the point. I would rather it was fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.
