Sounds like the oil wire is frayed and shorting to the head or alternator bracket.
Follow the wire from the pressure switch wire up and you will find a junction plug.
From there it runs up and into the plastic shroud next to the distributor.
Other possibility is the switch has gone bad.

Is the pressure switch by the oil filter?
