oil pressure light glows... but slowly?

ok i've dealt with the flickering oil light problem before and now the sender wire appears to be well insulated (or otherwise physically separated) from any metal objects that could be shorting it. however, as of yesterday my oil pressure light goes off after ignition, but slowly fades up to an ALMOST completely on state. its not glowing quite as brightly as it is during the ignition test, but it is not flickering either. any ideas? i thought these things were either on or off =/

    What car what year? Any clue here will help.

    It's a wiring problem, in any case- probably a bad harness or the oil light wire grounding against the block somewhere.

    Heyyyy Handsome...

    You're right. Should be on or off. Try pulling the lug off of the sensor for a while just to be sure the light stays off. Then if you're sure the wire is out of trouble you can swap in a new sensor. Very inexpensive. No mess to change either, provided you turn off the motor first.
