Hi, Ronnie,
Two possible reasons:
1) Switch gone bad
2) low oil pressure.
The thing to do now is to hook up an oil pressure gauge (does a GT6 have a
gauge?) and see what the pressure is at idle. I have seen two switches go
bad turning on the light when the pressure is fine so let's hope for the
best.
