On my Williams, when i start the car, the oil and water warning light stay on, what would cause these to stay on?
I know the oil and water is fine.

Thanks.

wires broken and shorting out. Its normally the other way right enough, it breaks they don;t come on and the oil level gauge doesn't work.

Is the oil level gauge working all the time?

All of the oil guages work fine which is odd.
Apparently it only happened when the master cylinder was replaced.
So a damaged wire near there would be a likely suspect.

you better go have a look hadn't you, give the wires a tug to see if they go out
