Are you sure the wire isn't grounded somewhere? If you unplug the switch, does the light still come on? I know the switch is new but did you test it?

You need to hook up an oil pressure gauge (tester) in place of the oil pressure switch.

With the engine warm @ idle (750-800rpm) you should see 10psi minimum for oil pressure. Then bring the engine RPM up to 3000 and you should see 50psi minimum.
