You could have low oil pressure!
Apart from that glimpse of the blindingly obvious, you may like to check that both oil pressure sender units are working. Sometimes a clean-up works.
There is also a possibility that the pick-up strainer is blocked [in the sump]
Try these before dismantling the dash & chasing wires.
