I wrote to you that my cars low oil light stays on but if you shut the car off and start again it is off. The oil is full not low or over. The sending unit has been replaced. No sounds come from the signal. It comes on every time you turn it on and goes off everytime you imm turn it off and back on and stays off until you stop the car for a period and it will come back onn? This is driving me crazy. I stopped by a garage and they said to ignore it but I worry I am hurting the car. I am handicapped and I am frightened that it may stop and I cannot get help.

Just ignore it, you aren't hurting anything. If you have an oil pressure guage it will go down ifyou get low on oil or bounce all over. You either have abad connection or the wire is grounding out someplace causing the light to go on. Things like that can drive you crazy as you say but the car is 15 years old and things are going to go wrong.
