While replacing the coolant pump on my '88, I decided to replace a length
of wire
and connector to the high pressure oil switch.

The oil pressure switch looked original.

Soon after, I had a similar issue; light/buzzer would randomly come on.
Replacing this switch cured the issue.

If the oil pressure switch is old, maybe working on wiring, cleaning
contact of oil pressure switch, disturbs an internal part causing it to
fail intermittently?
