I have the guage in the car and the temp side is wired.
It's the pressure and idjit light that I need help with.

New wires are run from the senders to the guage.
What wire goes where?
I have four wires. One off the idiot sender and three off the pressure sender.

Help me help myself. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Anymore Ideas?

since you don't want to tell us where the gauge or the senders came from, i'm staying with the original suggestions:

1) shitcan the senders you've got and put in senders known to match the gauges.
2) shitcan the gages you've got and put in gages known to match the senders.
3) spend several/many hours with an ohmmeter measuring between each pair of contacts while varying pressure over the operating range.

the problem with #3 is that at the end of many tedious hours of sender characterisation, you may know conclusively that the senders are not compatible with your gages and you'll wind up doing #1 or #2 anyway. or, once you've got the characterisation curves, you can send the senders, the gages, and a grocery bag of Benjie's off to PA Speedo and get them calibrated to match.
