Well the gauge doesn't move, it kind of twitched a bit and lifted a hair up, but not more then that. Oil Dip-stick shows levels are good, no leaks on the ground were the car is parked either. Is my cluster acting up, or is it the sender?

Also, while asking noobish questions. My wipers are all messed up, turn the dial, they move, however turn them off, they stop exactly where they were when you turn them off. Additionally they don't squirt. Will this be corrected with swapping out the dial, or are their more electrical gremlins behind this?


Lastly, cruise control does not work. Switch lights up and what not, but it fails to engage, is it the actuator or the switch?

Thanks.

Check the connection in the engine bay to the oil pressure sender - the connection can come off if you've been working in that section of the bay, and senders do, on occasion, go bad. I'm not sure I'd want to drive it with the gauge showing 0, though - if it's right, and you run it much, you're looking at a new engine.

The wipers not stopping at the correct spot is the wiper switch going bad. www.mazdamark.com has rebuilt units available.

And, with the cruise control, are you sure it's hooked up properly in the engine bay? There are three parts - the switch, the cruise control CPU (driver's footwell, a box about the size of a pack of cigarettes), and the actuator (rear passenger's corner of the engine bay).

My oil Pressure gauge acts similiar.
It will not budge or stay below 0, then sometime go to the very top. Never in between so its obviously not reading anything correctly or at all.

Im looking to replace with autometer units (oil pressure, temp, and water temp)

Anyone with write ups or how to's for the installation process.
Where the sensors/senders go, Pictures, etc...?

While I'm at it. The climate control lights will flicker off and then on latter when I hit bumps at night. Controls continue to work, the lights just dont all the time. Loose wire I take?
