Oil lamp wire should be behind cluster.

here's what i've done several times with these same alarms - in fact, i've found it works much better nearly always due to there being less latency - i hook to the field wire on the alternator to provide the same signal level (i.e. reads low when engine is not running, and goes high when it starts).  just a straight connection to the field wire has worked for me every time without a hitch.  i've found some oil sensors take a couple of seconds to make the light go out, and will cause the starter to "hang" in that condition.
