Oil level light activated by Coolant level sensor

I think it's more likely that something got transposed behind the cluster.
'Quick way to check...unplug the connector to your NEW Coolant Level Sensor
...Does the Oil Level Light now go out?

In the first Pictogram #71 is the Oil Pressure Sender (on the side of the Oil Filter
Housing.

In the second Pictogram # 44 is the Oil Level Sender (inside the Oil Pan)

What I'm "Guessing" is that (from my DeCoding of your information proffered)
the wire for the Coolant Level Sensor has been substituted for the wire from
#44.
Behind The Instrument Cluster.
[I do not even know if that's possible]

Because,What you're describing is the Oil Level Light responding to the Coolant Level Sensor (AND that Ain't Happening...Even in America.)
