[QUOTE="rlepecha, post: 576876, member: 19679"] Sounds a bit odd that. Do you have a multimeter? If so, disconnect the wire to the switch at the engine block. Set the meter to continuity, start it up and put one lead from the meter to ground and the other to the spade on the switch. Does it beep or read short 0.00? If so then the switch is definitely reading low oil pressure. The only other thing I can think of is a bad ground or just unlucky to get a bad switch again. This is the only reason I use an oil pressure gauge, because the switches are pretty poor and I can see exactly what sort of pressure I have. Is it an original dipstick? I've heard of some of the aftermarket ones being marked up incorrectly? So maybe not enough oil, can take some measurements for the markers if you need them.
