Look for the shorted, pinch, or disconnected wire touching a ground point.
Next check the switch.

Subject: Oil Pressure Lamp?

So last weekend I pulled the dash and did R&R under there. Put it back in.
Over the past two evenings my son and I pulled the radiator and put a new
one in. We took the van for a test drive last night, no problems noted.

Today I start the van, the oil pressure lamp does not go out, the
tencentlife oil pressure gauge reads 60psi (very cold morning).

My first reaction was puzzlement. Followed by "NOW what?"

Ideas?
