My idiot light came on for the oil pressure. I do have an aftermarket gauge installed and it showed normal PSI. Anyway, when I went to install a new oil sending switch thinking it was faulty, the housing with the wire broke at the wire. How do I fix this? Cost to have it done professionally?

no, it was the plastic switch's housing that you would snap back on to the switch once you replaced it. The housing has a wire going into it and the wire snapped out.

Finally got it fixed. Had to go to a junkyard and snip the cap and wire from a Lexus that matched my sending unit. It tested and works perfectly. No more probs.
