Paul,

1.  No.
2.  Yes.
3.  The oil pressure switch conductor may have a high resistance short to
ground    especially where it is routed between the engine tin and the
cylinder jacket.  I had this occur once and it would only present itself
during wet weather.  Until it was diagnosed, it provoked a bout of the Now
What?! Syndrome with which most Vanagon Owners are familiar.
4.  The oil pressure may be marginal.  You would have to check this with a
pressure gauge temporarily plumbed into the oil pressure switch tapping.
