If it is hot all the time your switch is on you will be bypassing the ballast resistor all the time.

I have the similar S I P connections on the pressure switch and you are right, the S connects to the starter solenoid to activate the pump during starting before oil pressure builds up. It may connect to either the starter solenoid terminal or to the SOL terminal on your switch.
There is a jumper between the IGN1 & IGN2....
