Are you sure the switches are good? Are they correct? Have you measurd the oil pressure? Are the wores connected properly? Switching the wires to the sensors will cause erractic operation. Except for wiring and switch problems, I have not actually seen this circuit fail. I have seen legitimate resons for the light and buzzer to come on. Especially after the engine warms up.
