Cecil:

At night try dimming the dash lights and see if the glow from the oil 
pressure light goes away. I have had several cars that idiot lights 
glowed, sometimes  very disturbingly, due to the cardboard baffle being 
displaced. The dash illuminating lamps will shine through the idiot 
light window.  If this is not the case, disconnect the wire to the oil 
pressure sender and then the head temp sender and see if the lamp stops 
glowing. If so, replace the switch that stopped the glow. If not, start 
reading resistance of the wire to ground anbd start disconnecting 
harness connectors until the resistance approaches infinity.
