The reason your oil light stays might not be nothing major it might just need oil or an oil change.
To be on the safe side, check the obvious things.
Check the oil level.
Make sure you have the right grade and new oil.
Has the filter been changed recently?
Check that the oil pressure switch is working, replace or substitute known good one. Temporarily, add a pressure gauge where the oil pressure switch is and check.
Check wiring to switch, it may have come loose and touching the engine, or the cable shorted to earth.
If all still points to no pressure, then you have a major problem.
The oil pump has stopped working or there is massive wear on all bearings.

1991 acura integra oil pressure light wont go out?
Stop running this engine until you find out why the oil pressure warning light is on. You have low oil pressure. This can be caused by low oil level, defective oil pump, defective oil pressure sending unit, incorrect oil filter. First thing before proceeding is to Change your oil and install a new oil filter, I recommend Purolator.

If I changed the oil and spark plugs on my 2003 Stratus now the car won't start and when I try to the oil light comes on the the horn won't stop blowing what is causing this?
Changing the oil wont keep the car from starting. Changine the plugs will if you didn't put the wires back on in the proper location. The oil light will come on until the car starts and allows the oil pump to fill the filter and circulate the oil. Once started, the light should go out.
