Similar posts have been made but still need help.<br />Yellow oil warning lite comes on although remote reservoir full. Computer thinks tank empty and does not pump oil to engine reservoir. With manual switch activated pump operates and fills engine tank. Engine then operates normally till this reservoir runs down, then cuts out as it goes into protection mode. Red lite comes on. Filters clean. Lines clean. Removed float assembly in remote tank and seems okay, although I can't figure out how that little styrofoam float works. Obviously pump works. Thanks<br />Laird
<br /> it was a common problem. as the battery died the internal circuits would sense a low engine tank and turn on. the pump would start pumping and never stop.<br /> if your lucky only a mess was made. but sometimes it will burn up a pump and or control module. the motors with a seperate box had a mercury switch to prevent oil transfer when tilted, later they used a signal from the trim switch now they use a signal from the tach circuit to prevent transfer unless its running. there is one exception to that but its not pertanint here. moral is buy a battery switch and use it regularly
