Oil gauge?
Hi all
I have a 2002 ford ranger 3.0 with 96k miles Today my oil gauge just quit working I just reads low and will not fluctuate at all. Was wondering if anyone has any idea what could be the cause Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Oil gauge?
Replace the pressure sensor first since that is the easiest.......if that doesn't fix the problem then the gauge cluster is the problem.

I replaced the oil pressure switch around 8months ago, as it was jumping after long drives, I’ve just went and purchased a new oil pressure switch and hope this will fix it. If this will not fix it what process should I do with the gauge cluster? Thanks for your knowledge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Oil gauge?
Can you it a volunteer on the pressure sensor? Are you Absolutely sure you have proper oil pressure?

No I’m not sure I have proper oil pressure as my gauge does not work But my engine sounds and runs totally fine I’ve driven it over 100 miles since I noticed the gauge not working. So I would assume that I do have correct pressure as it would have probably blown by now I think. I will try probing it with a multimeter Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Oil gauge?
Sorry, I meant, have you checked it with a voltmeter. Autocorrect!

I haven’t tested it yet but I now seems to want to work whenever it wants too. I took it for a drive yesterday and it worked when I turned it on then later on the night I took it for another drive and it decided it doesn’t want to work again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Re: Oil gauge?
ground the wire to the sender if the guage does not go to high the guage or wire are at fault

The oil gauge is worthless so I wouldn't get concerned. You are right....if the oil pressure was actually an issue there would be more signs than just a low "idiot gauge" reading. Best of luck! |

Yeah that’s what I thought. She runs fine I’ve done over 200 miles with the gauge not working so she’d be dead now. Was thinking about doing a true oil pressure gauge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
