Re: oil presure gauge dont work

Does the gauge needle go to the high end of the gauge when you turn on the ignition? If it does try grounding the wire that is supposed to go to the gauge. It should then read zero pressure. If it does that means the sending unit is bad and you need a new one. Otherwise there is something wrong with the wiring.
