    I would put a pressure gauge on the engine to test what the actual pressure is. There maybe a reason it is coming on.

    You mean lights up while engine is running???

    Is it on with just ign on not started???

    If it lights after starting you have the wrong sender... That's the symptom you get using the sender for a vehicle with a idiot gauge...
