New exhaust = Oil Press. Gauge not working?

[ruf_round_edges]

Hey everyone, quick question. I just replaced my exhaust from the downpipe back and ever since, my oil pressure gauge doesn't work. I am thinking I might have bumped the sensor or oil pump while installing the exhaust, but what should I look for? Could I have disconnected the sensor for the gauge? Not too sure where to look so any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I think it is completly random... you should not be messing with anything to do with oil pressure by installing a exhaust.

Check Fuses and such, any codes thrown?

You more than likelly just bumped the sender unit and the wiring clip fell off. It's a long black clip and it slids over a small round button like thing on the end of the OFH. Thats the best I can describe it.

Very common to have the wire come off of the sender. Yours could have easily pulled it off.

In this picture the splash shields are removed in the drivers side wheelwell but you can check from under the car with them on. Notice that the connector attaches in an unusual way compared to standard spade connectors. It slides on sideways over the tab on the sender.
