Oil pressure gauge inoperative
Okay, so I've been sitting at 0 p.s.i. oil pressure for 2 weeks according to my oil gauge, but my engine is not locked up. I think it's the sending unit. Am I barking up the right tree? :Kill1: :smiley_12 :Kill1:

Have you checked to see if the connector is on the oil sending unit?
Does the water temp gauge operate? |
As an asides, what is the relationship between the yellow wire with a red stripe to the oil and water temp sensor wires which are also yellow but with different color stripes?:confused:..why would disconnecting or cutting that wire defeat both gauges inside the dash?
:cool: |
Good question, have you looked at the wiring diagram and traced the 2 wires back to the cluster? From a technical stand point, the sensor wires are a ground for thier individual circuits. I wouldn't think that there is any overlap in the circuitry between them, but I have not looked at the wiring diagram.

I once had inoperable water temp gauge and oil pressure gauge - turns out the yellow wires had been switched when they put Pamela's engine into Carmen.
Every so often my oil pressure gauge quit since - I found there was a bit of moisture in there that would freeze and break the contact. |
