    2004 Columbia Glider with 12.7 Detroit.
    Oil pressure gauge in the dash is not showing any pressure.
    Other dash gauges are working. Installed a manual test guage and the engine has very good oil pressure.
    Truck runs so I know the ecm is getting a good signal.
    How and wear does the dash oil gauge get is signal. I look at the ecm diagram and I don't see any interface to the dash gauges.
    Appreciate knowing how the oil pressure gauge gets a signal.

    I don't remember when the CANbus gauges started... Look at the back of the gauges, are they daisy-chained with a 2 wire plug (the lights are separate plug)? If so the gauge pulls it's signal off the bus. Prior systems the sending unit drove the gauge directly.

    Thanks, this one is a cluster, no separate gauge.
    I need to see if I can buy just the electric motor for the oil pressure.
    Thanks again
