Computer trouble???
I've got a 1997 C-5. It is running good but the gauges are acting weird. The Oil life is stuck at 55%, oil pressure is reading 129, keyless entery won't reset. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this solved?
Thanks,
Buddy

It could all be related if your battery is on its way out. Random electrical glitches can be battery related. Autozone will do a free on load check.
That said if you just got the car it could be 3 separate faults, all fairly common.
The Oil Pressure Gauge is easy. The Oil pressure sensor is renowned for being unreliable. Do a search and you'll find the fix. heres a thread which will help:

The RKE may just need retraining or the fob battery could be on its way out. Try here for the retraining procedure:

With the oil life, 10% is about 1000 miles. How far have you travelled? You could reset it but you've then lost the 45% that its used.
