oil pressure sensor

This is not for a fox body . But I figured you guys could help me out.
I unplugged the oil pressure sensor on my 1990 olds cutlass ciera to change the gasket on the oil filter adapter. the sensor is located on the adapter piece . i plugged it back in and now it does not work properly. it points straight up . when you start engine it just moves a tiny bit to the right. car runs fine. Any help .Thanks :D

i have the same problem with my 87 cougar the oil light is always on and when i unplug the wire to the oil pressure gauge the light goes out. I'm going to hook up a real pressure gauge tomorrow to see if there is pressure or just a faulty sensor.

would there be any other reason why the light is always on or has someone else also had this problem

Also i just looked up the oil pressure switch and the mustang had the gauge were the cougar has the light, so would a oil pressure switch with gauge not work for a cougar switch with light ??
