Case 830 Oil lights

[JohnnyC]

My Case 830 periodically has the oil light and filter light on. Both will do it at different times, but very frequently. Even after I change the filter and oil it still does it. The oil level is perfect when I check it. This may be a dumb question, but I will ask. I check it when the engine is off, but does it require a check while running?
Everything runs great other than the lights come on idling or running wide open.

I'd be putting a mechanical oil pressure gauge on to make sure it has oil pressure at all times.

the oil is checked with engine off, it sounds to me like the two wires from the fuel and oil pressure switches are shorting together and to ground do both lights come on when you turn on the key with engine stopped? then go off after you start it, then later the intermittent blinking/flashing occurs

The wires touching. That was the problem. Thanks
