As a first step you should have the pressure gauge sender unit replaced which has most likely failed prematurely. It is not an expensive part but the OP gauge will not work without it functioning.

If the gauge then shows no pressure I would also have a mechanic check the oil pressure on the vehicle with an independent gauge.

Mitsubishi shogun 3.2did oil pressure light comes on when ideling but goes off when driving

Their is a couple things to check before replacing the oil sending unit. 1. Verify the wire connection to it is secure. 2. Verify engine is at proper idle and not to low.

Gauges work fine when engine's started, then oil gauge falls below zero and warning light comes on saying "Check gauges," so I check the oil and transmission fluid levels and these are fine but...

start by checking the ground strap to the engine, and engine to body. The oil pressure sender unit may be bad. You may have to hook up an oil pressure gauge to the oil pressure sender port to verify proper oil pressure. Senders are cheap- I would just replace it and go from there.

2000 Ford F-150. The oil temp warning light came on and the oil pressure gauge dropped to zero. While accelerating, the pressure gauge goes back to normal and the warning light goes out. No drivability...

Make sure the oil level is correct. If the engine bearings are getting worn, the oil pump is worn or it's screen plugged, that can cause low-RPM weak oil pressure. Try running with 'high mileage' oil at your next oil change and always replace the filter. At some point, you may need to consider overhauling or replacing the engine. Good luck!

Oil indicator light comes on and beeps on and off is there a reset for this

This could be warning you of dangerously low oil pressure , which could damage your engine , or perhaps the oil pressure sender unit is not working. It is an inexpensive part , and easy to install.
Do you have any other issues ( warning lights etc. ) or gauges that aren't working.? Together they could indicate an entirely different problem.

Oil light at idle

First,and most obvious is to check the oil level.If the oil has recently been changed,change the oil filter again just to eliminate any possible defective filter.If condtion still exists,a mechanical oil pressure test gauge can be hooked up to the engine and driven while monitoring the oil pressure.I use this procedure sometimes on automatic transmissions as a diagnostic tool.This test will identify if the problem is indeed a mechanical fault inside the engine,or a potential problem with the dash gauge,or sensor,or wiring.As a temporary solution,using a slightly thicker viscosity oil will help somewhat if a low pressure condition actually exists.
