Bill,

No help on the web site but I had a similar problem with the oil level
indicator on the 164.  I inserted a 120 ohm 1/2 watt resistor where the
wires plug into the sender unit.  Light went out when the right resistance
is present.  Sensor works through a bimetal plate in series with a wound
resistor.  When oil level is low, bimetal plate can not disspate the heat;
contacts open the ground to the control unit.   Light goes on.  Can't
remember  where I got the 120 ohm number but it was not a guess.  Might be
on the old archive.

Hope this helps,

Don
