It should in the run position. If you have a meter, measure the resistance from the switch connection to ground. It should be low, a few ohms or less. Oil pressure opens the switch.

It's possible you have a sending unit for a gauge, rather than a light. Is it about an inch and a half high and an inch around or is it smaller than that?
