They don't work by voltage. The sensor connects to earth and the resistance
in that circuit defines the reading on the gauge.
To test connect up 12 v+ and earth to the correct terminals on the gauge.
Then get a variable resistor set and connect between the "S" terminal and
the earth terminal.
The you can calibrate he readings you need.
One (the oil pressure) will work in the reverse sense !
