no
but it soon will be if you spread the connectors by probing I side the connector.
Probing inside is normally a big no, no unless you have the proper equipment.

Yes exactly. On the top of that It is jumping around and in mV.
Retrace your steps..
What parts..and wiring.. did you disturb ?
The oil light could be a random error
are you sure
I thought it was White ?
they can be tricky to follow
was there a connector part way ?

correct.
its why I always suggest only changing one thing at a time before testing.
Its then easy to know where any faults were introduced

For the first time I disconnected and moved around some wires which runs top of the timing belt cover, in order to remove the valve cover and change the gasket. Before that there wasn’t an issue like this, so something happened that time, I just can’t image what, as I’m always careful and changed similar things on several cars before and never had an issue.
Today I disturbed all cables, and no additional problems. Maybe the connector itself to the oil pressure sensor broke?? I was thinking about to go to the junkyard and chop off one and connect it to my wiring harness as the wiring doesn’t seem to be broken all the way to the ecu plug.

Yes it’s a bright green wire for sure, the connector under the fuse box was fine.
what year is the car. Was the thermostat an early simple type or the latter type with the temperature sensor built in
did you find a black connector part way along the wire ?
what colour is the wire at the sensor end
I didn't really want to go to ECU connector yet
but for your information its pin 7 of connector B
I wouldn't probe from the inside the connector. They are very easy to damage

Model year is 2005 and the thermostat is an older one which is built into the housing, no electrical connections to it. The wire is a light brown one which comes from the oil pressure sensor.
It only set apart once at under the fuse box.

Yes it looks very similar.
I believe I have checked it and it was 00.1 ohm, however I haven’t checked to the block. I will do it tomorrow.
its important to disconnect both ends when you test it. The oil switch is shorted to earth any wire with a path to earth will also measure low ohms
end to end low ohms
open circuit / no ohms between either end and the engine block

Okay I checked it and it is exactly how you described. Between the open end cables there is 00.1 ohm, checking it to ground there is no resistance, shows OL, from both ends.
