"0" Oil Pressure

On the way home driving along all is well. Cruising abt 45 or so, ding, ding, check gages light on. Oil gage reads 0 psi. Turned A/C & radio off, put windows down - sounds normal? Pop in neutral, sounds fine at idle, rev engine all sounds fine. I figure it's the oil pressure sensor (sender unit) and drive home. Pull the sender unit out (32 mm deep socket) and ohm it out - 3 pins - left - middle - right. Get nothing from middle pin to L or R, L to R reads 1250 ohms.

What do you all think?

I just checked AutoZone.com | System Error

$189.99

I was expecting $30 or 40.

Thanks,
