If it is like the Carreras, then the gage reads max when the wire is off or the pressure transmitter is failed opened (EE term). Grounding the wire causes the reading to be zero. Since the reading is now 1/2 of what it was, it could be that the new wire has a good connection. Also, make sure that the wire is not shorting out to the car.
