81 GS 450T owners, Help!

[81GS]

I am trying to locate the oil pressure switch on the above bike. My light won't work on the indicator module so I'm trying to track down the switch. I have looked all over the bike and don't see it. Is there one?? The manual says there is, but doesn't show it's location. Only that a green wire goes to it. Help!

its #30 on this diagram. http://www.alpha-sports.com/spst/1981%20GS450T/09.gif hope that helps.

So it appears that it is not out in the open, but behind either the first cover on the right side or do I have to pull the whole side cover??

I pulled the cover for the electronic ignition (small one 5" dia.) and there apears to be a round sensor on mine, below the rotor.

I haven't dug that far in before but it appears to be just under the ATU. There aren't any specfic instructions on how to replace it in my manual, but you can kinda see it here

and here


You can pull the cover of the ATU off without any oil coming out, but beyond that, sorry I just don't know for sure.

Thanks guys, I think I'll pull the cover and see what I can see. I'm hoping just the wire came off and that will fix it.
