There is a open on the sender side of the circuit. Ground the sender wire and if it goes to low then it is the sender if not then the circuit is open.

Oil pressure gauge reads zero after starting the engine then in a couple of minutes goes up a little then jumps to normal and stays there?
Oil pressure has to built up. As long as the pressure is normal and the oil level is good. There is no problem.
Is the oil pressure gauge on a 1991 Mercedes 190E supposed to be pegged at 3 instead of in the middle of the gauge at 1.5?
i have a 1993 190E - my oil pressure gauge always sits on 3. ==New Answer Haedline == The oil pressure gauge actually moves but is related to several factors Engine Temprature Oil viscosity Engine speed. When you start you car the engine temperature is low the gauge goes to 3, after a long drive/travel and if your temp gets to 80C then with an engine speed of 750-800 RPM you oil pressure gauge will read about 1.5. if you rev. the engine the pressure gauge goes up to 3
Oil pressure stays on 80 on 2005 tahoeTurn truck off and it goes to 0.Turn ignition on but not starting the truck it goes to 40.Turn the ignition to start truck it stays on 80.What's the problem?

Why does my 95 Cougar's 4.6L oil pressure gauge fluctuate with the throttle?
Your oil pressure goes up with more throttle (higher rpm) and there is less pressure say at idle. Therefore your gauge reading will vary according to the throttle/rpm.
Why is your oil pressure gauge going haywire in your 2003 silverado?
AnswerWhat do you mean by haywire? Without more information, all I can tell you to do right now is to replace the filter you are using with an AC/Delco filter. The oil pressure sending unit may be defective if you are getting erratic readings. I mean that the water temp gauge needle goes way past the point to where it bottoms out and so does the battery volt gauge needle and the oil pressure gauge needle and the tach needle works when it wants to.
How do you check the oil pressure on a 1997 town?
You would need a gauge that taps into where sender goes on block.
2004 Nissan Titan oil gauge high?
oil gage pressure immediately goes high
What is wrong when your temperature gauge goes up in a car?
Your car is starting to overheat or your thermostat is going out. Get it checked.
Why when truck warms up oil pressure goes down and to zero at idle but good pressure when cold?
If you have the correct weight oil in the engine, it sounds like the engine may be worn. If you haven't checked the oil pressure with a manual gauge (vs the dash gauge) that is a good place to start to verify that it is not a gauge/sensor problem.
Why would the oil pressure gauge register in the red zone?
Hey Sim==If it does it only while the engine is running, the sending unit could be inacurate. You need to install a manual gauge to see what the actual reading is. If it goes to red before starting the engine the wire to the sending unit is probably disconnected. Good luckJoe
I have a Chevy Silverado 2002. What if the oil gauge goes up and then down makes a ticking sound when starting the engine?
Waht is the answer?
Oil pressure sending unit on 1991 ford ranger 2.3?
the oil pressure sending unit is designed to warn you of a low oil pressure. If the sensor goes bad then the low pressure light or gauge will read low when the oil pressure is actually ok.
