Oil pressure warning light
My oil pressure gage is working properly (hasn't changed in its readings since it was replaced a couple of years ago), pegs at startup, goes down as the engine warms up, and reads about 2 at idle when fully warm, as rpms increase so does the indicated pressure. The main warning light and the corresponding oil pressure light come on now. They sort of flicker, and are not on constant either at speed or at idle. The dipstick indicates good oil level.
I assume:
#1 (but am not certain and am not driving the car) that at this point the gage is accurate and the warning light is unreliable.
#2 that the warning light and gage are actually separate systems.
#3 that the symptoms indicate a problem (ground/short) with the warning light system.
Any thoughts/criticisms about my assumptions, or hints on where to start looking to fix the problem?
