oil pressure gauge bulb not working

Post by 360beast » 22 Jul 2014 11:18 am

as the title says

bulb isn't blown and I've tried another bulb still doesn't work.
It's wired up just like the instructions said to so any suggestions?

Yep all works reads 4 bar at idle (photo taken while engine running), brand new sender unit gauge has never been fitted before just sat in the box since '83

Sorted :D

Took the bulb out of it's holder and the filiment at the base had somehow snapped off so no connection, so I've fitted a green bulb to tie in with the rest of the gauges.
