Oil Light Wiring Question

Is there a way to get to the low oil light wiring? I don't have the electrical workbook, only the service book. I was curious about wiring in parallel my external oil reservoir level switch in my separate tank.

If the level is low...the switch sends +12V to the PCM terminal 2R....so if you set the level on the tank to trigger B+ when low it would work......PCM wouldn't care where the voltage was coming from

OK, that sounds good. Should have all the parts together in a week. I have my Sohn on my desk, and the oil tank with level switch should be here shortly. If I can't figure it out, then I'll cool down a barleypop for you Dan.
