Subject: Re: IML:1960 Oil Pressure
Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2005 23:50:15 -0400
It is possible that they were all pegged at one time, and the Oil Pressure
gauge is the only one left "working". I think they can burn out one at a
time. There should be something in the archives about that.
I would recommend checking to oil pressure as mentioned before, and
possibly checking the gauge cluster for other trouble.
