Cluster showing wrong oil pressure.

I have installed a new cluster in my 88gxl tonight.
But now, my oil pressure is showing wrong oil pressure reading, its very very low like 0 to 1/4 of the gauge.
How can is fix it without installing a new cluster.


BTW: IT WORKEd GOOD WITH MY OLD GAUGE, dont told me its my oil pressure.

The rotor gods have taken a giant crap on you my man !!!!!!! LOL

anyway..... the stock gauges SUCK.... the electics in the new gauge cluster must be shot... yo COULD take apart the clusters and put your old OP gauge in the new cluster..

OR, ,you could buy an accurate gauge and one of the oil pressure adapter kits from mazdatrix or racing beat and mount a good gauge!

check the screws on the back of the cluster... often times corrosion on those screws (which actually send the signal into the gauge) will result in off reads.
