I need the help of gurus in the house.

The oil indicator lamp on my instrument cluster does not come on at all. When the key is in the on position with the engine off, its supposed to come on for a few seconds but it doesn't.

I have interchanged the bulbs and it still won't work so the problem is not with the bulb.
What other troubleshooting can I carry out, or what do I need to change.

Car is 1998 Camry v6, with 1mz-fe.

Cc. Sienna, gazzuzz, etc

Check your oil switch. Located close to the oil filter. A single strand of wire. It could have been chopped off

Good suggestion.

You can use a OHMS meter to test BUT if it were MY car I would ground the wire to see if the light comes on. This will tell me if the circuit is okay and the switch is bad.

Good luck.

That's where you should be looking.

Search for the wire connecting the oil switch (single strand) and see if it's out of place. That oil switch is really rugged but we'll it's prone to failure so any thing can happen.
