Gauge problem my z


Recommended Posts

Hey whats up guys i just bought my car this past Friday its a 76 280z. When I drove it back home I notice that my oil/temp gauge was working. The oil one will move but eventually it goes back and wont move a inch. As for the temp gauge that one doesn't work at all I took the time to take my dash off and made sure the cables were on right but no luck? Idk if their might be a fuse I should check or just replace it?

If it's just the oil pressure gauge that's giving you trouble it is most likely the sensor located on the block behind the alternator. They are notorious for failing. Test by grounding the connector at the sensor and see if the gauge goes full scale. If it does, sensor is bad.
