Have you checked your oil level? Flashing oil light should be an indication of low oil pressure I'd presume? When did you last do an oil change? If it were me, I'd start by doing an engine oil flush additive and oil/filter change. How many miles?

Oil and filter are new. 505 miles. Light has been flashing since new. No oil leaks and not burning or losing oil.

Ah gotcha. Heres the sensor, sounds like you're on the right track.

The oil light is just an oil switch, not a sensor. Switch could be bad. The switch closes to ground when the oil pressure is low.

🔎 Likely Causes​

  1. Oil Pressure Switch Faulty / Out of Spec
    • The Roxor uses a simple oil pressure switch, not a true analog sensor.
    • If it intermittently opens/closes, the cluster lamp flickers.
    • Very common in early low-mileage units.
  2. Wiring or Connector Issue
    • Loose pin, corroded contact, or rubbed harness from oil switch → instrument cluster.
    • Wiring manual shows this circuit tied directly into the instrument cluster lamp.
  3. Instrument Cluster / Ground Problem
    • The EMS manual warns that poor cluster ground can cause flickering lamps (including oil).
    • If multiple lamps ever flicker, suspect grounding.
  4. True Pressure Issue (less likely here)
    • Low oil pressure from pump/bearings normally worsens with RPM or heat — not steady since new, and not with good oil/filter at 505 miles.

Thanks WM435 for the info on the oil switch light problem.
I did check out the switch and it was fine probably just a minor problem but after I checked out the switch and started the Roxor it started and ran for about five seconds then died completely---no dash lights, no turnover, etc. Battery is fine, all fuses and relays are fine, all grounds are tight.
Any suggestions for this BIG problem !

WM435:
Regarding my Dead Roxor problem.
I had a 'good' fuse that even tested fine BUT WAS NOT GOOD.
I replaced all my factory supplied fuses on the interior fuse box and apparently the ignition fuse was BAD but tested GOOD and replaced with a new fuse and all is well.
