This AM I noticed that the oil gauge was pinned on L :whoops: I pulled over and waited a bit and checked oil level/condition and looked for visual signs of leaks. All good so I decided to press on since it did not seem like I was losing oil or smell like I am burning any. Made it to work with a normal running rig w/ out any weird sounds. I am thinking it's the sender? Any troubleshooting tips I should perform?
 
I'd be looking at the sender being unplugged or a broken wire.
 
Thanks Matt. I was thinking the same thing. I had to fiddle with the GPS cable from my headunit the other day which may have loosened something.
 
The senders usually don't go bad but I have seen the wires get snagged and come off. Did you do raventai's temp gauge mod? If so you might have damaged the oil pressure gauge. That's what happened to me and now I need a new gauge. If that is your scenario you can get just the Oil gauge from SOR
 
I accidently unplugged mine a few weeks ago when I was unplugging the AC compressor. It's on the same wire harness.

I will take a look at the wires. I am thinking of wiring a pillar gauge just to see if it's that.

Where is the harness? Under the dash? Did any other gauges go out or just the oil?
