pics show how to test gauges you need resistors and a ohm meter. you can get resistors if you have a radio shack around. see if senders are getting a low voltage signal or a flashing light with a test light. if not it's a wiring issue. I screwed u p on this and sent info for testing coolant instead of oil pressure but they test the same anyhow........pics show color of wires to test
