95 E320 oil light still on....

Did some searching as to why the oil light is on. I just changed the oil and replaced the oil level sensor and the damn thing is still on!! What else could be the problem? I topped off the oil, pressure is at 3 and a new oil level sensor....im beating my head against the wall with this one.

Wiring harness, wiring harness, wiring harness. Unplug the connector at the oil level sensor on the oil pan. If the oil light stays on, it's the lower wiring harness.

More specifically lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness, lower harness. It's got the starter on it and goes to the + battery terminal. You'll see frayed wires by the oil filter housing.

UNLESS.... the bulb's in the wrong socket in your cluster and its really low coolant or coolant sensor. But inspect that harness first, no one changes that one when they swap out the upper harness but it has the same issue.
