It's very likely your transducer
scrape up $50 for the switch kit, a spare combination spanner, and a torch....(not what we in the States call a "flashlight") but the kind with a flame. Clamp open end of spanner in the vice and heat the stem at that end until you can bend the *F^ out of it to more-or-less match the angle on the box-end.
(Quench so as not to transfer intense heat to palm of hand.)
use new toy to swap transducer for new pressure switch, plug resistor-jumper on press. swt and plug pre-existing connector to jumper. Ignore instructions regarding reprogramming inst. pack. Fire up, leak-check and observe rock-solid 47 psi on guage, no warning light...proving you have at least 8 psi oil P!
Mine (a 95 VDP 4.0L) was a 19mm but I saw an earlier version mill removed from its car in the shop floor that required an 18 mm (lil' bit loose) or British Std. of now-forgotten size (just shy of 18 mm ~ 11/16"?)
