This is wierd...

Everytime I hit a bump in the road, my buzzer goes off and the Low Oil light illuminates. The only way to turn it off is to go find another bump to run over to turn it off...

How wierd is that?

Where is this sensor located? My oil pressure never drops below 30 while driving, and I checked the oil and there is plenty...Any ideas?

You sir, have a short. Good luck finding it. Get a Hayne's Manual, and look at the back 10 pages. All the electrical schematics are there. You could chase this one for days, and still never find the short. Good luck...

It might be the sensor in the oil pan. they have kind of a float thing in them. when the "float" gets too low the sensor goes off. try the sensor first before spending hundreds of dollars haveing a tech run through every wire. they are cheapish.
