Could a problem with the oil light be connected to a problem with the ignition switch?

I would say it is more likely that they bumped the wire on the oil pressure sending unit of your car. I would try cleaning the contact between the sending unit and the wire before anything. if you cant do this a shop will do it for next to nothing.
No way the lamp oil is rely and idiot lamp that tells something is wrong but not what. the lamp can burn out , loose a conncection or the oil sensor is not functioning
The low oil pressure lamp is produced by the grounding of the pressure switch. The lamp on your dash has a positive voltage whenever the key is on. But the negative side is only when the switch is closed. ( switch on engine not running) oil pressure opens the switch! (turns the lamp off) So IF you do have good oil pressure? then you oil pressure switch has failed, or the the wire going th the switch is grounded. ( short to fram) not your ing. switch. So the answer is NO! To test this you will need a multimeter, check the restance of the switch with the engin running. should be open or LO on your meter. if that is true than check for voltage on the wire. 5 to 12 volts make model. ect. both tests are with swith disconected.

No. If the starter turns over the ignition switch is good.

Key turns will not start it is like the safety switch on the clutch is not engageing any suggestions?
several could bes. If there is no action, the engine does not turn, the rod running from the key switch to the ignition switch on the column could be broken, or the ignition switch itself could haved malfunctioned. If there has be work immediately privious to the problem, check for loose connection, expecially on the ignition switch.

Will ignition switch stop oxygen sensor fuse and fuel pump fuse in panel box from not having fire?
Why when you turn the ignition key nothing happens?
It could be a bad battery, or connection. A bad starter and or solenoid could be the problem, along with an ignition switch to name a few.
What could be the problem if a car starts sometimes and the problem isn't the battery?
Could be the starter or ignition switch...does the car crank/turn over when you turn the key? If you just turn the key and it 'clicks' it might be the ignition switch. I've had this problem before, and it ended up being the alternator. HOpe this helps!
Why no ignition light?
The reason for no ignition light could be a low battery. The wiring system may be another reason for this. Check the white wires in the ignition switch and the multi-plug connector to ensure they are connected.

Only if the engine is not cranking. Otherwise the problem is engine related.
Why might a 2001 Dodge Neon not always shut off?
have you tried pushing in on the ignition as you turn it.you may have to push hard.that should be just a new ignition,otherwise it could be in the ignition circuit. I also had this problem and the dealership could not fix it. so I replace the Ignition switch and that fixed the problem.
