[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 431277, member: 19498"] Arrrgggg...this is getting frustrating. Tore into things again this am and ran a second ground off the cluster ground lead to see what it did for the gauge dropping issue when the lights are turned on. It seemed to eliminate the issue 90%. No, the oil pressure gauge does not go to 80 when grounded. If the sending unit lead is disconnected with the key on sends the needle to 60. This is where it sat for the last 2 years before getting the gauge working a couple days ago. Ground it out and the needle goes all the way down past 0 just like having the key off. For what ever reason it appears both the volt and Oil press gauges are reading much lower than they should. Volts always in the red at 8 to 12V and Its putting out 14.3, and the oil reading 0 at idle when it might be 20 at idle and 60,not 40 at speed Id hope. 2 bad gauges,I guess?? Im not wild about throwing in a bunch or aftermarket stuff, but now that I opened a can of worms Im bound and determined to get some accurate readings. Anybody have any comments on the Omix replacements?? Good, bad, inaccurate?? [/QUOTE]
