so i bought an elec. oil gauge(psi) today and i wired it up and its not reading anything.
I connected it to the battery + to +, - to -, and the sending unit to the s.u. connector and got nothing. When connected to the battery it does nothing but once i connect it to the sending unit it reads 0, then i start the car and nothing happens it doesnt go up or down, Ive used a faze, sunpro, and autometer and nothing has worked. If someone can help it would me much appreciated. Thanks |

what brand gauge? The sending unit should have 2 terminals. One to ground and one to the gauge. The gauge itself should be wired to 12v power and one to ground. Now the other wires is for either changing lights when you turn on your headlights or for other things.
