Not sure what the other wires go to, maybe the air bag, regardless all instruments are working on the '89.

SOURCE: 89 vw cabriolet oil light comes on....

i put 20w-50 peenzoil in my cabby and helped a lot. every so often it might do it. but i did just find a vacuum leak that goes from the intake tube to the valve cover. i think if i fix that, it should be solved fully.

SOURCE: 1989 vw cabriolet fuel pump test is there a way

yes. Depending on where your fuel filter is located, you can disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter and then try to crank the car over. If it spits fuel out of the disconnected line your pump is working, if not then it's bad. Another way to tell, but not always is when you car is started you hear a high pitched whining sound from the tanks. This is usually (again, not always) an indication of a fuel pump about to fail.

How do I confirm that my oil light is not functioning when it's confirmed that the oil pressure is good?

REmove the wire from the sender unit and earth on the engine next to it. If the light dosen't come then it is probably blown or you have a fuse problem in that circuit

1989 VW cabriolet oil pressure warning light on at low rpm and idle. Oil pressure gauge shows sub 1 bar at same time. Is this a sending unit problem, or an oil pump problem? Where are sending units? ...

The Oil light is a dreaded sight, especially at idle. Usually if an oil pump fails, it dies, the same with an oil pressure sender. I had the same problem with a 97 neon, at idle the oil light comes on... (192,000 miles). If the oil used at the oil change was a thinner viscosity than what was in there, that could cause it. If not, it could be bearings going bad on the motor creating a low pressure situation. I fixed it by going to a thicker viscosity, from 5w-30 to 10w-30, and in a week the light went off... this was 7 months ago. Just food for thought, hope this helps.

The engine just quit in the middle of the road after I stepped on the clutch there was no warning. it appears to have something to do with the fuel preasure. Is there a kill switch? My oil is very low but...

VW doesn't install kill switches on their vehicles. A "very low" oil level can cause some of the newer VW's to not run, but this would be very unusual for a 1989 unless the oil level is off the dipstick. May want to raise the oil level nand check the fuses.

Can't be any more help not knowing the model of VW you have, sorry.

Oil light blinks when I slow down

It sounds like the oil pressure is dropping at low speed. You may try to change the sending unit first sometimes that may fix it. Hot is going to be over 220 degrees.
