Unread post by acudanut » November 5th, 2020, 4:29 pm

I can't get the the oil pressure or engine temp to work. All new wiring with 2 fuse blocks mounted (yes everything was triple checked and connected correctly) 2 bad gauges or 2 bad electrical sending units ?? Place your bets and of course your advise.Thank you and of course,Cheers

Had similar problems with same gauges. Was ground. I made a spider ground. Grounded each gauge on instrument panel. My problem solved.

Make sure the gauge hold downs are well grounded to the gauge panel and the gauge panel is grounded to dash, you can check your grounds with meter, if not the ground this may help.
