Default Defi oil temp prob

Guys,

ive got a set of 3 defis of the RA (boost, oil pressure, oil temp) with the controller box thingy.

Anyway,

I had to disconnect the plugs from the rear of the controller to move the box to a better location, when I plugged the plugs back in the oil temp warning light stays on whilst the car was on tickover???? the other two are fine.

No probs before disconnecting the plugs from the controller

check the back of the controller where the connections plug in and make sure when you pulled it out it didnt pull the housing off with it.You might have bent a pin when you plugged it back in

I've got an intermittant reading on a DEFI oil pressure sensor that I bought off a seller on here. I'm hoping it's a similar problem!!

Could too much PTFE tape cause this?
