Suh dudes,

Got a Autometer oil Pressure gauge that I had for awhile, less than a year you could say, recently it started not working properly

What do you think is not working properly, the gauge itself or the pressure sender unit?
Checked the unit's wires and all and it's all good. Wires haven't been moved or covered witl oil when it started working improperly

Mine was being a little twitchy after a year or so as well, i legit tapped the sender a few times with a dinky little hammer and it hasnt acted up again.
Is the sender pointing downward at all? Autometers instructions state that it needs to be horizontal or above

Mine is sent up horizontal, but my autometer oil temp is downward but that was is good, even covered with oil (just a bit) and still good.
I'll try tapping the sender see if that will work. Keep you guys posted

Without wasting 1:30 watching an advertisement, I'm assuming you've got an electric sensor considering you mentioned a sending unit.

In that case, a majority of the time it is the sending unit at fault.

Throw some air into it with a compressor it may be bound up.
