Oil Gauge reads halfway with key on engine off

The "gauge" is nothing more than a fancy idiot light. It shows three positions, dangerously low pressure, normal pressure, too high pressure. If the key is on the cluster is powered up and some signal value is going to be gauge making it display some pressure. Once the engine starts the gauge will then jump to the middle of the display as long as everything is fine.
A real pressure gauge would move around depending on engine speed and temp. Ford hasn't used something like that in a long time.
