Troublesome digital gauges 88 lx February 09, 2011, 06:48:34 PM Ok so 88 LX for a while now my oil pressure gauge has been acting up on me telling me i don't have oil pressure at random times. Now few minutes ago i went to start my car and the gauges didn't light up but was still on, but when i turned my lights on they would light up. So you turn the lights off they would go back off no back lighting played around with them and they came back on and stayed on. Seems like it just lighting up when they want to, anything i need to check or time for a rebuild/new cluster ? Also i found a way to keep the gauges back lighting on with my DRL's i turn those on and it turns the gauge lights on. Quote Selected
Troublesome digital gauges 88 lx Reply #1 – February 10, 2011, 02:25:39 AM Could be two unrelated things. The oil pressure problem could be a faulty oil pressure sender, provided there's nothing wrong with your oil pressure in the first place. I had the same problem, replaced the sender and all has been fine after that.Sometimes my digital cluster won't light up right away, but after a while it does. Maybe a bad/corroded connector somewhere, not sure if it could also be a bad headlight switch. Quote Selected

Troublesome digital gauges 88 lx Reply #3 – February 10, 2011, 08:37:27 AM When it kept telling me my oil pressure was bad i installed a aftermarket pressure gauge and ran it for 2 days and its right where its supposed to be. And no the gauges have never been out as long as i've had the car, like i said the gauges stopped lighting up when i turned the key on last night first time its done that. Quote Selected
