They will sometimes do that if the is a bad ground to the cluster, try the test again, if the car has an idiot light for the oil pressure, grounding that lead will cause the idiot light to come on and supply a ground to the cluster.

Ok tested the wire again and no oil came on but gauge started to slowly move. And part looks dead on the one I ordered. Here’s a pic of the engine I have the 383 v8. I looked where your pic says it is and didn’t see anything. And I traced the wire according to the service diagram and pretty sure it’s right. But like I said this is my first Plymouth and old car so I could always be incorrect
BB and RB mopars have the oil sender at the rear of the engine in the oil galley. The heat sensor is on the front usually on the water pump housing.

Well I found the sending unit for temp. Literally bolted right under the ac compressor I’m going to try and clean the wire and unit connector and see if that works really don’t want to remove the compressor. Hoping changing this horrible connector which failed the ground test will work.

It looks like there is some clean copper wire behind the connector, you can try grounding it there to see if anything happens. Connector is nasty, you may have to replace it.

Do autozone or car parts stores carry that connector hate to have to order a .50 cent connector lol
