This is funny. When I post an issue for the forums help, I usually include Petes name because its more or less directed to him anyway and yes he'll kindly chime in with the correct answer when he catches it.
You are the man!!!
I was looking into what could be wrong; Figured some sort of sensor had gone bad.... Appreciate the help

I just checked mine after seeing this, and with engine off and key turned to right, oil pressure gauge showed .5. Is my sender bad cause it is not at zero? And is there any consequence if it is bad? I mean, the only thing is that you’ll have incorrect pressure readings, right?

Yep, and it will make the gauge always read .5 higher than the actual oil pressure.
I thought I had already posted this when it was completed a few months back.
Looks good! I actually have a similar style steering wheel, no MF buttons that I'm removing and probably going to sell. I like it but it feels too big for me.

So I just picked up this wheel (991.347.803.47.A34) to put in my 2005 997.1 manual/ base with no multifunction features.
I'm looking into the airbags, but there is one for the 997 (2010 - 2012) generation and one for the 991 (2012 - 2016) that look the same on Suncoast Porsche website.
