Cutlass Gauge Package-Does It Have An Oil Pressure Light?

[85 Cutlass Brougham]

I am working on finally making my whole gauge package work and have an odd question: Does it come with an oil pressure light? The reason I ask is that the factory wiring manual does not define an oil pressure light for the cluster. All it has is a warning lights for coolant temperature and charging. It shows all the gauges, but not an oil pressure light. So, if you have the factory gauge package in your Cutlass, does it have a warning light? Thanks.

I believe it's in the form of the 'OIL/CHOKE' light...

I'll go look at my extra cluster when I go out to have a smoke...

Yup, the OIL/CHOKE light is at the top of the left hand row.

Aaaah, but does it actually light when the key is turned to the On position? Both clusters use the same plastic piece with the idiot lights in it, but not all of the lights are actually used in every car. I have several clusters, but don't know if it actually is supposed to light like it did when I had the panoramic speedo/ fuel gauge only cluster.

Unless you have installed two separate sending units - one variable resistor sender for the gauge and one on/off switch for the light - you will not have both light and gauge working at the same time.

Oil/Choke Light

In my car the oil/choke light comes on when the switch is in the on position?
