I just noticed that its not showing up when I put the keys in the ignition. Dont know if it was from last time when I took it to a shop to fix the signal cable of the starter. They might have unplug something and forgot to plug it back again (since it already happened to me before @ the same shop, thank God I noticed it right there and then that the oil light wasnt showing up). all I know is that the mechanic when back to the engine bay & plugged something up and made the oil light show up again on the cluster.

Can you guys tell me where is that plug that will make the oil light show up again on the cluster? lol

Mechanic probably forgot to connect it back again if he actually unplug it or if it was on his way while he was working on the signal cable of the starter and unplugged it by mistake, or got unppluged by itself. Sorry about my grammar, english is my second language as you can notice lol. Thanks in advance!

Its the oil pressure sensor. Right next to the oil filter.

Could be. Take the wire that plugs into the sensor and connect it to ground and turn the ign on
. If bulb illuminates, than problem lies in the sensor. If it doesn't, then problem lies within the wiring or bulb.
