Oil pressure gauge on dashboard pinned at "H". Oil level is good; temperature remains normal when on the road and idling; no fuses blown. What can I check myself before taking it in to Nissan Service? Is there a connection under the hood I can "wiggle" and, if so, where would I find it. Thank you.

Unfortunately it is probably not a connection issue that you can wiggle. We need to hook up a mechanical gauge to the engine and find out if the sensor is correct.

Here is a guide that talks about high oil pressure that will help:

I attached the process below on how to test the oil pressure.

Let us know what questions you have or what you find with this. Thanks
