Oil Pressure gage not working - Need Help

I just noticed my oil gage (Pod mounted along with Boost Gage) is not working. The light is still on but no pressure is showing. I know there's nothing wrong with the car because it would have locked up by now or my oil light would have come on. I'm not very mechanically inclined when it comes to engine work and usually have a shop do this kind of install or work.

I know the lines probably go through and hook up somewhere, but I don't know where. Where should I start? Do you think a line came off or maybe the gage doesn't work anymore?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Mike

whaf kind is it? If its an autometer elctrical with the brass colored sending unit, find the unit and tap on it with the back side of a screwdriver. Thats what happened to mine a few times.

It is an Auto-Meter. I'll try that. If that's not the case, where does the line come out to the engine and hook up? Right side lower/upper part? So I have a general idea on where to search .

Thanks again.

Hey man its the sending unit all the vibration after a while it goes to crap. Get a new one and when you mount it next time you mount it on the frame to avoid this happening again .
I cant tell you where its at because im not the shop that put it in

the sending unit should be right above the oil filter
