Forget to get the oil sending wire tight after reinstalling the pan ?

is that at an idle , or when the rpms are up ? if the light comes on during higher rpms , the sump pickup maybe too close to the pan. the pan can get pulled up and starve the pump.
I am not sure if there is anything there to maintain the proper distance to the bottom of the pan.
if it is low at an idle, it maybe bearing wear from the loss of oil when the pan was broke.

hey, maybe even the pump. but I'd go with trash in the screen first.

I would inspect the Oil pump rotor (replace if nicked up) and install a new oil filter in conjunction with a pan drop and screen inspection.
