Need advice quickly. High oil pressure So with just accessory on, the psi for oil is reading 70. Engine on its reading about 110 psi. Engine sounds normal. I think its electrical possibly? Anybody know what this is?

Yeah its my daily. I did not check the grounds. Its at a shop now. Havent taken the battery out recently. This was cold. Normal idle pressure for me is somewhere between 40-50psi. And like I said. It was reading 70psi with the engine off, key in acc.

After doing more research i think thats the issue. But typically a bad sensor would read 0 for a broken connection, or pegged to full for a short. Mine still "reads". Do you happen to know where I can find and information on changing it out on an LS6?

there are a few write ups on this if you do a quick search but the sensor is right at the back of the intake manifold right next to the cam position sensor. Its the tallest one. Unplug it, break it loose, take it out and put the new one in!
some advice from what I've learned, 1) go to carquest and invest in an LS oil pressure switch socket (i think thats what they call it) but either way, its a deepwell, the right size and fits right in there so you don't have to worry about breaking the plastic while torquing on it 2) you may have to unplug the cam position sensor to get the socket in there. you may even have to take the 10mm bolt out of the keeper and rotate the sensor a bit to get the socket in there but you will not have to take it out.
