Ok, ive been meaning to do this for awhile. I have the wire that goes to the stock oil pressure gauge, just need to know where it goes on the engine. I tried tracing it through my harness, but lost it somewhere in a relay/ fuse box.

anyone know? i wanna just get it working so my whole cluster works

I am not the best person to have wiring information but I happen to know this answer. Right beside the oil filter is a yellow plug in the block where a sensor goes. That is the oil pressure and oil light. There should be two wires that go into the block in this area. Trace those two wires....I don't remember the colors just look...inside to the ecu or one of those 2 white plugs. It could be on either. I would have to check to see what I did. Then splice in a wire and connect to the appropriate wires on the cluster. There are two one is for the oil light and one is for the gauge...I think. I will check the colors and get back to you.

Mind you I can't get my tach workin' so take this with a graind of salt. My oil pressure gauge does however work. (that is the only thing working currently however)~ANDREW~

Yep, 2 wires. Are you using the RB cluster then? Cuz the KA doesn't have an oil pressure gauge.

I used the KA cluster and lower harness. So I just found out which of the two wires was the oil pressure switch and wired it into the KA lower harness where the original KA pressure switch was.
