A couple of weeks ago my oil pressure gauge stopped working, and the CEL is on constantly. I'm not sure if the two are related but they both acted up at the same time so i am led to believe they are more than just coincidences.

I have already replaced the oil sending unit, the gauge, and the entire gauge cluster in hopes of fixing the problem. So my question is, what is the else could it be?

Sorry for the crappy pics, they were taken with my cell phone.

You can see both the needles in the second pic. The oil pressure one is way low, and the fuel level one is pegged full.

Not sure how to solve your problem though, sorry.

The fuel gauge has not worked for awhile, although it works now after i removed the cluster and simply tightened what i assume is the slosh module on the back of the cluster.

get yourself a aftermarket mechanical oil press gauge. Hook it up and see what it tells you. You can hook it up right under the hood just to see whats going on.

I am positive the oil pressure is fine. The car has been driven over 300 miles since the gauge went out. The only reason i kept driving it was the fact that it took me almost 40 miles until i realized the gauge was reading below zero.

I will get a mechanical gauge to check just to be sure though. It cant hurt.
