Perfectcircle: Yes, the switch is located next to the oil filter and is easy to change. And, you are correct about the stock gauge. It doesn't really measure oil pressure. Its basically an idiot light with a needle. Above 6 psi it will read the middle of the gauge. Below 6 psi it reads zero.

gt andy: It is most likely your switch. It costs $40 at Ford and $9 at Autozone.
I figured it wasnt the pump or the filter... because the car runs fine and still sounds good with no knock or lifter noise...

Is there a pic of this part..? My car is in storge and i would like to get the correct part before i pull it out to fix..

I have a Windsor. Which switch probably would depend on the build date. I think my car was built in April 2000. You can tell by looking at the switch which one you have. The 2000 switch has a single pole. The 2001 has a locking connector.

I just replaced mine over the past weekend. So far so good.. I also had to get one for a 2001 with the plug in connector..
