The circuit is simple. It consists of the sensor screwed into your block (and no, not the VTEC oil pressure sensor...just a seperate one dedicated to the little idiot light in your cluster), connected through a piece of wire to the bulb in your cluster. The other side of the bulb connects to a switched +12v source.

Check the light.

Light Bad? Replace light.
Light Good? Check teh sensor.

Sensor Bad? Replace sensor.
Sensor Good? Use a meter to check for shorts/opens in the wire.

Don't have a meter? Replace it all until it works.
