Default Oil Pressure Light

I recently changed my oil pressure sending unit, I have great pressure 40@ idle. Oil level is fine, yet the oil light stilll comes on my HUD. I have also disconnected the battery to reset. What should I do next?

i believe the oil light is a low oil level warning.
run the diagnostic codes... maybe that sensor is bad as well.

On my recent header install, I found that the wiring harness had been damaged by engine head while the car was still in stock configuration. The insulation had burnt off the wires for the low oil pressure sensor.

What should I do now that it is not displaying a code?
