Not sure what happened over the winter, but my oil pressure gauge is now pegged to the right. Worked fine all last driving season. Can a shot sender unit be the cause? Mine is really old. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Wire touching ground. Sending wire gets brittle from heat, breaks insulation and touches the metal brackets that hold it. Now you have the sender grounded out.
