Question Oil pressure gauge needle pointing down

OK. I switched my dash lights to LEDs (and they look great, BTW) but since then, my oil pressure gauge points down. Any suggestions?

Sounds like it's disconnected or a broken wire. Or gauge died. Hopefully your dash isn't back together yet.

Oh, and ANY changes you make while cleaning and improving them... check the guage. Don't wait till the end.
