Hi guys,
Really struggling here. This isnt my first rodeo, and for the life of me I cant get my new electrical oil pressure gauge to sweep.
Its a Bosch gauge, I crossed all my tees and dotted my eyes. I've double checked the grounds, and where possible used crimp fittings or solder/heat shrink.
I actually ended up grounding the bulb (-) and the gauge (-) directly to the battery. 12v supply comes from the DRL and Cigar sockets using mini add-a-circuit connectors. I swapped the (-) and (+) to see if it was pulling in reverse, and nothing. The sending unit is on a tee with the stock oil pressure switch.
I flipped both back and fourth, used new fuses etc.....Although I may double check the fuses when I have some light again.
The sending unit isnt grounded......and it didnt specify to in the instructions. I even tried a ground on the base to the battery (-) to see if that did it.
Any thoughts? Faulty sender or gauge?
It sure looks pretty lit up......but thats about it!
