My first guess is the switch, anything else I should consider before replacing that? (Please let it not be the oil pump).

Probably just the switch. A buddy of mine had the same issue on his pickup.

Addressing part of the blessing to his baby caused his guage to drop?

Yep. The switch is clearly wrong and he was cursed for it.

I had a coolant leak in my 00' Jeep XJ that caused low oil pressure.
