I_turn9,

When I purchased my car the gauge didn't work at all. First thing I did was remove the sender from the oil tank, jumper one connection to car ground and the other directly to the gauge connection itself. With the key in the on position, move the sender lever up and down and watch the gauge oil level move along with it. If no movement, one of them is definitely bad. If there is movement then your wiring is bad. If the wiring proves good, putting a meter on the 2 connections of the sender should vary the resistance when moving the arm up and down. If that happens then it's your gauge.
