Found it.  White wire with great hood and connector.  We weren't even there.
I don't know how it could have possibly came off.  Tested.  Revved.  They're fine.
Heading back up I 39 in Illinois to meet family and then I think they're turning around and heading
back to try to get to Florida.  Thanks for the help.  Remember I'm here 30 minutes north of Bloomington.

jhawk@hawkcomputing.com is monitored better - much better.  I'm on the type II AIRs list?

What model year?

Google took me to this:

The Rialta uses a VR6 ?  Here's some images of oil pressure switches
on VR6 engines:

Assuming the Rialta has two oil pressure switches, one will be a
"high" pressure oil switch.

On VW's using two oil pressure switches, the high pressure switch
kicks in when engine revved past 2K RPM. That said, on a Vanagon, this
will trigger a buzzer.

Maybe the wire to oil pressure sender got knocked loose?
