My idiot light for my oil pressure no longer works. (when the bike's off)

Where is that sensor located? So I can go jiggle some wires.

Have you tried checking the bulb?

The sensor is near the oil filter.

Look under the oil filter in front of the engine. Looks a bit like a flying saucer, for lack of a better term. The part number for the original is 26554-77, and the Accell equivalent is 03582.

Thanks guys. It worked intermittently over the past couple weeks, so I figured it was a loose connection.

I'll wiggle some wires around first, then check the bulb, then test the sensor.

check your wire.

If it falls off, which they tend to do, it will leave the light off no matter the pressure.

My highbeam indicator hasn't worked since 2000.

If you're on friendly terms with your soldering iron, all the 2007 HD bikes come OEM with LED indicator bulbs.

....hey, it could cut out one step of the troubleshooting process ;)

Unhook the wire from the sending unit and touch it to ground.
The light should come on.
assuming it's the same as my ironhead.

For the oil light, I'd check that the wire is plugged into the sensor (ask me how I know about that!)

For any of the dash lights, just remember they burn out from time to time.
