Question oil pressure (gauge?) problems!?

The oil pressure gauge on my 944 S has always stayed buried past 5 bar whenever I drive it, and occasionally after a long time of driving, it will kick down and start functioning. I just rebuit my oil pressure relief valve, and ran my car for about a day, and the needle on the oil gauge is still pinned to the max @ idle, but the low level red warning light is also on about half brightness. If I rev the motor, the light decreases to about 1/4 brightness. It is doing this when the engine is warmed up, and when it is cold. My engine is also staying really hot for a long time-- a couple hours after shutting it off in the garage. I tried switching the wires on the oil pressure sender, and still the same readings-- any ideas, anyone?
