I think that I may have a bad voltage regulator.

I removed it and the lights aren't on now.

I kept hearing the pinging of contacts when I connected the battery before, but not now.

I'm going to replace it and see if that was the problem.
IF so, it's a cheap fix. [/QUOTE

i can see it making the alt light come on, but not the oil light. but who knows.
