94 Dakota 3.9L oil pressure gauge nonfunctional
I replaced the sender, but the analog dash gauge does not register. Turning key on pointer travels to full scale and back to zero.
Red oil can light is on dimly. I drive it so it must have oil pressure.
I do not find the circuit on my 94 schematic.
Any ideas?

1) When you replaced the sender, did you use PTFE tape on ALL the threads? The threads are the ground; you should leave the end two or so bare so that they CAN ground.
2) Check the wires in the plug; if they don't fit down all the way, you won't get a good connection.
I'll bet 1; the light is getting a weak ground through the gauge because the sending unit isn't properly grounded.
