@dagosa I’m well aware of the salty breeze Some relatives of mine used to live in San Francisco, and those cars took a beating . . . ---

Fixed by disconnecting the battery terminals and not reconnecting it for ten minutes. light has not come back on since. go figure! ---

Good work. And sincere thanks for the follow up post. That “fix” resetting the ECU for a blinking oil pressure warning light, will inevitably come in handy for helping others. Happy motoring. ---

rushing through this: when does the blinking happen - at normal operating temperature? does it go away if you bring the RPM’s up a little bit and hold it? that’s what my engine does - because the oil gets really hot, and the pressure dips into the low range to trip the warning light. I have an aftermarket oil pressure sender - but enough about me. ---

@JuniorMint, sometimes rushing through means that you missed the follow-up post that says the problem is no more. ---

@cigroller I see, yes. also, @ok4450 asked my questions originally. I think I need an isolation chamber if I am going to read this forum. however, to dig the hole I am in even further : the questions were never answered, even though @Rdalesan claims the problem is “fixed”. I’m 60/40 on this one - I think time will tell. ---

Sometimes I open a half dozen or more threads with tabs, then later I write a reply after someone else has typed the same thing. [Previous page](https://community.cartalk.com/t/oil-pressure-light-blinking/83632.md?page=1)
