If it's a CAYC engine the oil pressure switch (F1) wire goes via pin 1 of a 14 way black connector pair 'front left in engine compartment', ending up at instrument cluster (K) 32-way connector pin 27.

When they say left, that's as viewed from drivers seat facing forwards, so right side of bay as you look in from the front bumper.

 

it's a black wire going into the 14-way, a green/black coming  out heading to the cluster.

Before anything else, do an actual oil pressure test, you will need a gauge with an M10x1 adapter in place of the switch.
