Need Help with oil pressure sensor.

[CanadianBuell]

My oil pressure indicator light is not working. In the service manual it says that there are four causes. One being a dead battery (no S_ _T) the other three are, bad wires, bad bulb, bad sensor. The wiring is fine, which leaves the bulb or sensor. FInally the question.... How do you test the bulbs? The manual says that the instrument panel is non servicable, but I think you should be able to light all bulbs to verify operation. They all light at start up for four seconds if all is okay, but if they don't it doesn't necessarily mean it's the bulb. So I have ordered a new sensor, they're cheap, but I still want to know how to test bulbs. Thanks guys.

Well I changed the sensor, it cost $19 and that was the problem. Good to go.
