Dwayne,

If you have the Cummins engine, it could be the oil sending unit itself, they are known to get very erratic or quit all together. I have a diagram for those sensor, but my engine is an 8.3L so it might not be the same as the 5.9L if that is what you have. The sensors are next to one another, so you could swap the wire and put it on the sensor for the service bay oil gauge and see if the gauge starts working.

Are you going to buy another Safari with slides or are you going with something newer?

Thank you,
We have the cat 3126. It has 2 oil pressure senders. One for the dash gauge and one for the service compartment in the rear. The rear works, i replaced one sender. No change. I was able to swap wires to sender. Also no change. We are having problems getting into some parks with the clear coat looking ugly. 2 quotes to repair paint came in at $20,000 in california. We are looking at up to 2010 diesel pusher. Pre def. Cummins power. Either a safari, or national a nicely priced Dutch star is possible. Those are sweet.
My wife wants more room. I want a compartment for my traeger!
