It does not seem to work it just sits on L and doesn't seem to even move. Is there a problem? there are no lights that come on or anything.

You dont have to take anything apart or anything. Just climb under the drivers wheel and you will see a black wire that slides onto a clip. If thats off (which its prob hanging lol) than theres your problem. If its dirty I would just clean it lol. If all else fails, I agree with attack and get a aftermarket gauge and call it the day

I know from expericence, no oil in motor, will automatically shut off. It will buck and run like shit if its getting low.

If that sucker comes on, that's when you are low on oil pressure. It's like the gauge and the light are totally separate from each other.
