Default Oil Pressure and Light

2011 Ultra Classic 67,800 miles. I washed the bike and went for a ride. Oil light came on and I then saw oil gauge all the way to the left. Stopped the bike turned everything off. When I turn the ignition switch on the oil gauge shoots all the way to the right. I start the bike the oil gauge shoots to the left and when the the bike running oil gauge stays to the left and oil light is on.

Any ideas?

Thanks, in advance.

Jerry

Yes check oil, tire pressure, etc. before wash.

Delphi wire was plugged in, however when I unplugged it it was damp inside. I dried it out with blower. Fired bike back up gauge and light working correctly.

Thanks, ya'll. One of the reasons I like the HDforums.
