Default Oil Pressure Warning

Is it possible to code this out from the instrument cluster? as it appears my cluster is faulty ,the signal from the pressure switch reaches the cluster but the cluster still shows the red warning oil can and 3 beeps. The pressure switch has been checked and is working correctly.

1998 2.8 sport

Update I have noticed that if I keep the rpm below approx 2000 the error wont come on . Seems strange to me ,but then again so does alot of things

Got it fixed by getting a cheap cluster from a S8 ( love the blue needles ) and recoded it with the settings from the old one.

All I need to do now is get the Mileage changed ,need to lose 31k miles to take it down to the original odo reading

Finally I can use the display without a dang flashing oilcan in my face all the time lol.
