im having an issue with my oil pressure, temp and fuel gauges they are not working but everything else works fine.
looking for some help on what i can do to fix that. my fans turn on fine when it get warm but the temp dont work or the water level light.

Supernaut your a corn ball. The gauges on the 93 have an oil gauge problem they never read correct. The gas gauge is not as common but I've seen it before. Check your ground for the gas gauge and as far as the oil goes just put an aftermarket gauge.

The oil pressure, coolant temp, and fuel level gauges share one common ground return path. Starting at terminal 1E of the instrument panel connector C1-01, there is a black wire with blue stripe that runs through connector X-18, then X-17, X-14, and then on a black wire to ground point 3. All those connectors are in the passenger cabin; did you disconnect any of them?
