Dear TRS.... thank you. I was smashing champagne glasses and peeing on the floor, trying to figure out what the issue was with my oil pressure "gauge" (1990 4.0) reading a constant "middle" no matter the engine RPM (turn the key....click *POING!* middle). Thanks to the extensive info on these pages, I've now learned that it isn't really a gauge at all.... more of a sophisticated "dummy light". Thanks for that, Ford. Pretty weenie if you ask me.
There is a fix, involving bypassing a 20 ohm resistor on the back of the cluster, and replacing the "oil sending unit" with a real one. Unfortunately, I have no clue where to source the "real one". If you know....
Now, if I can figure out the wonky fuel gauge that can't seem to decide my fuel level..... gotta wonder now...... is that a FakeyFord "gauge", too?
