Guage Help

I just replaced the Oil/Charge gauge in my RA40 coupe with the guage out of a liftback, it worked when it came out of the liftback but doesn't seem to work in my coupe i'e checked the wirering an it looks all good so i can't see the problem.
Has anyone done this swap b4?
Could it just be the guage has died while swapping it?

You can't just swap the gauge, you also need the oil pressure sensor on the engine. The sensor you have now is just a switch which goes closed circuit below a given pressure, so obviously it won't work with a gauge.

there is a little bit of wiring modification that you need to do, but for the oil you can use a sender from a 2tg-eu, thats what im running my oil pressure with in my 22, it works great.

Ok what does the oil pressure sensor look like?? is it iside the head? i've had a quick look but all i can see are the bolts on the head some with wires on them, is this what i'm looking for?
What wiring need to be done as i've checked both plugs and all wiring looks the same.

NO, the send screws into the drivers side of the block, just in front of the engine mount.
Yes the plugs are the same but the wiring configurations are different.

Ok so now i have the Oil working, Temp seems to be running high but i'm not sure this is correct, But Volts and Fuel still don't work, Volts doesn't move and fuel seems to goes as far down as it can.... Past empty.
Is this wiring?

votls is an easy one to fix, all you have to do is run the voltage gauge input wire to a power source and you will have a working volts gauge.
