You can either replace the switch or use a mechanical gauge to check the actual oil pressure.

more burnt wires, fryed starter or fryed computer

My right side of this center dash window light that displays the temp.reading also went out on my 2003 4Runner. The letters & number were readable, but the back light was out to see everything at night. My mechanic said the bulb was out and he had to pull the section off surrounding the whole center dash portion that encompasses the radio, mileage, a/c & radio section. I left it up to them to do, since they said it would take an hour. Now the whole section lights w/o any problems.

Could be the altenator. They can fault intermitantly and often bring on more lights than just the charge light. The charge voltage should be checked when the lights are on.

I am going to guess that the peanut bulb in the knob is burned out.

I had a similar problem with my 2003 4Runner and changed the bulb and it worked fine.

The dealer told me it would take about 8 hours to change the 3 dollar bulb. I looked in my manual and it took me between 5 and 10 minutes tops.

I don't remember what the bulb number is. I do know that I had to get it from a Toyota dealer and not a regular auto parts store.

Hope this helps.

sounds like either the battery is bad or have the charging system tested,get back to me and we'll go from there. see if when you jump the car the lights go out,again get back to me

most likely requires a service make sure engine oil/air/fuel filters are changed when beeing serviced check charging rate,aux belts etc reset light
