Unhappy

So, I had this problem then when I turn the egnition into on possition the oil pressure gauge would go from 0-110. With out the car being turn on this niddle would hold pass 110. Now, the niddle stay below 0 and when the car is warming up the niddle move a little but not pass 0 it go up and downfrom lower off possition to 0. Weird but anyone have any idea why is doing that now? The car drive fine in the freeway.

Check your sending unit, and gauge. If both components are bad which i dought it, then you have a wire hearness problem.

Well guys, problem have been taken care off. I got a Mechanical Oil Pressure Gauge and installed it. So far works great but I can't figure how to install the light for the gauge.



I have a red wire that go into the guage with a light bolt. I wasen't sure where to put the 12v wire in the fuse box so when I turn the car lights it go on as well. Also not sure if I need to run a wire from the back of the guage to give it ground somewhere.



Can anyone help?
