Default Oil Pressure/Level Switch resistance

Hi all,

I have an oil pressure/level switch that seems to be broken. It is out from a 82 XS400. I took it out and test the resistance with a multimeter and got close to 2M (2,000,000) ohms (It os out of the bike so it is under NO pressure).

I am wondering if it's the reason why my oil press. light never goes on even the eng is not running.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
