Default problem with the oil warning

Well the dark beast is almost finished, we have changed the head gasket that had a pore and occasionally came out white smoke.
the issue is that some time ago the sneak oil jumps on the instrument panel, and not comfortable carrying the two red lights, we have changed the level float and pressure sending unit obviously has oil, and brand pressure well, has reviewed the lines until they come into the harness and everything seems fine, no apparent mass uncut rare. if someone throws light or that has happened and solution, thanks
Here a video:

What work have you done on the engine? Not enough information given, so can only give AWAG. On start up, cold engine, I would expect to see 4-5 bar oil pressure as you are revving the engine. Did you do a front engine reseal, crank shaft pulley bolt torqued to 155 ft. lbs.? You'll need the flywheel lock installed to torque it right. Oil Pump re-sleeved and new seals?? http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...%20Each%20%20#

Have you checked the OPRV? (Oil Pressure Relief Valve)
What weight oil are you using?

Well certainly clear, thanks to a friend, who kindly lent me his instrument to make the appropriate checks and we have seen that the problem resides in the instrument cluster.
so if anyone has one in good condition please let me know.
thank you very much.
