how is the battery power?
can you meter the actual power at the battery/alt points
don't know the clip name,if it needs a clip it will have a board contact point,not just a hole
i believe the oil goes high if the sender is off(power works no pressure signal)
and seeing the volt gauge bounce when a signal is on,check charging
other then that,check the paths on the cluster,shorts do weird things

remove cluster?
about 12 screws for the outer bezel
then screws (in white plastic)around the outside of cluster
speedo cable and wire harness plug,shifter needle,gotta be out/disconnected...
it should be loose to jiggle up and out
