Default Simple question on oil gauge

When you turn the ignition (without running the engine), Is the oil pressure idiot light "ON" ????? or NO ?

Key on engine off

The oil pressure warning light should be ON.

As the engine is turning the light is off until you let off of the key. It should light up with the key in the on position.

It is unlikely a burned out bulb. It's more likely that the wire to the oil pressure switch got disconnected. Check to make sure it's connected. If it is connected, try grounding it to see if the light turns on. If it goes on, then you have a bad oil pressure switch.
