Any info would be appreciated:

1. For several months, my electronic oil quantity (in dash cluster) has gone through its normal timing cycle then indicated ZERO oil in the car .... on about 9 out of 10 starts. A while back, Loren suggested I check the connection at the sending unit, and my mechanic just did that during the latest 30K mile check up. It appears to be fine. Any other ideas? Can the oil quantity portion of the instrument cluster be replaced independently of the rest of the panel? Before anyone says it .... I know I can check my oil the old fashioned way. Its just that something not working every time I start the car is like the proverbial pea under the mattress.

2. 3 years ago, I replaced my OEM third brake light with a smoked LED one from Sharkwerks. Looked great, and worked fine. Now it has quit cold. Other brake lights work. Power and ground are present in the units plug when brake pedal is pushed. Any ideas? Do these things just quit cold like that after a few years.

Thanks for any insight,
