I unplugged the sending unit and grounded the wire, and the gauge works correctly. So now I know its not an electrical issue. I finally located my pressure gauge so I am going to test that this weekend. I looked at the check valve in the oil filter housing when i changed the oil, it seemed to move easily, could the spring in the check valve go bad?
If I take it apart can I shim it to keep it seated? And if that was opening could that contribute to the apparent low oil pressure??

No, that probably allows the oil to bypass the filter if it gets clogged. It would really surprise me if the pressure was really low enough to legitimately cause the light...er guage to indicate it. Hope its something else! Maybe a bad ground through the switch?
