How an oil pressure switch works

This switch is from a Triumph Spitfire 1300 engine. And I repaired the switch saving £5! :-) Please see updated version.

    Very informative. My oil pressure switch is a 3 prong for a 78 Cadillac Coupe with the 425 carburetor engine. One wire feeds on end of switch, other end has wire leading to indicator light on the dash and the other is a wire to the choke heater on side of carburetor. There's no 12v power going to choke heater, but the fuse and the light work ok as it should...could it still be a bad oil pressure switch? According to service manual the electric choke receives an electric current operating thru the oil pressure switch whenever the engine running and it isn't. I suspect it's bad because at cold start up the engine would run a bit all the while idleling bad and stumbling then it'll cut off. However, once i get it going, i have no issues at all thru the course of the day. Engine runs perfectly fine. It only occurs during start up and cold weather. Any feedback is appreciated 👏 thanks

    Thank you for your comments. When the engine runs, the light goes out. When the engine runs, the oil pressure rises and separates the terminals..... this breaks the circuit and the light goes out. I hope this helps?

    So I did this test for continuity on my one pin unit and I get no continuity beep. I did however put one lead on the top terminal and one on the body. I depress d the plate inside and did see numbers change .

    It seems as if you're missing something. Electricity! You need to get some power in there to make the whole thing work.

    This particular pressure switch was from a triumph spitfire.... there would need to be a grounding strap attached from the engine mount to the chassis as the engine is normally mounted on rubber vibration absorbing material.
