Auto Meter Oil Pres. Gauge Issue

[SRT Handz]

Well i got my car back from the body shop and for some weird reason the Autometer Oil Pressure gause goes straight to Beyond 100 PSI and doesnt move. What could cause this? Think its just a loose wire to the send? Help me out fellow stang owners!

Does it do that always or just when the car is on?

 

[SRT Handz]

only when the car is on., what do u think it could be?

Check for a pinched line,that would artificialy raise the pressure.Als check if they've put the line onto the wrong location.

Bad ground.

Bad ground.

That makes perfect sense cause the bady shop just did the whole front end from my wreck....i will check it out tommarow..thanx. anything else it could be?

Well, you can pretty much eliminate gauge failure itself if it worked fine before they messed with the front end. Bad grounds almost always cause the gauges to peg.
