You may have low oil pressure, but discount the other things first.

To see if the wire is grounding somewhere in the harness, unplug it at the sender (to the left of the oil filter, with black wire). If the light goes out then wire is not grounding in harness.

If the wire checks out okay, then it may be the sender. If you don't have a pressure tester, buy a replacement/spare sender. They're pretty cheap. (I paid about $11CDN for one from NAPA, "Echlin" make.)

If the light remains on, then probably low oil pressure.
