HJ75 oil gauge! (1 Viewer)

[Bennyparker7]

Hey guys, I have a HJ75 cruiser ute, every gauge works in the dash cluster but no sight of the oil gauge needle.
What would be wrong and should I take it to the auto electrician?

I'm not mechanically minded.

P.S - It was my dads truck before he passed away in January 2019.

First make sure the single or two wires are connected to the oil pressure gauge. Are you saying that the needle is missing? If so then most likely you will need a new/used gauge.

Okay I'll try that. Yes, needle is missing completely...can you buy separate needles? You'd have to take the dash apart to put it in right?

I don’t believe that you can just buy a needle, yes you will have to get to the instrument cluster

Aw damn. Ok thanks. Where abouts is the oil pressure gauge?

Right side rear. Yours should have two wires on it.

Its an easy job, maybe a dozen or so screws. I think I took the steering wheel off, but you could probably leave it in place
