Did you have issues with other gauges, sounds like it could be related? Fuses blown? Perhaps you had something unplugged that you need to check. Also, can you read any codes?

The "OIL PRESSURE" gauge in an over grown idiot light.
When the pressure at the sensor(switch) reaches about 7PSI
the gauge will jump to center. There is no true pressure reading
other than you have at least the 7psi.

The only to get a real reading that you can count on it add a gauge.

You might want to check the harness to see if you have a bad wire.
