Probably just the sending unit. Don't know the price though.

have the same issue in mine, changed the sending unit without solution. anyone else had this issue?

 

[off-roader]

Mine had the sending unit for the oil light indicator instead of the pressure gauge. Swapped in the correct sending unit and it now works.

Could be at the back of the gauge as well.

Hmmmm...ok i'll look into that

Offroader was that an external sending unit or internal? Hopefully its not the ladder and do you happen to have a part#.? Running around with that being at zero would bug the crap outta me lol..thanks for the replys gents!

It was on the engine and not in the meter. Sorry, I don't have the part number. You can figure it out though if you own a windows PC by downloading the Mitsubishi ASA program and looking it up using your vin.

As for the meter going bad, I'm not sure if there's a procedure to check the meter in the FSM but that's the first thing I'd check if I thought it was bad

I was racing around in the Bug the other day and noticed the oil pressure gauge was pegged...to the high side. lol. I freaked for a split second, then pulled over and realized the sending wire nut rattled off the sender. Yikes!
