oil pressure sender and gauge... need help

I installed a prosport oil pressure gauge today and I accidentally broke one of the wire connection pieces on the sender unit. I soldered the wire onto what was left on it but it still didn't work. I don't know if thats the problem or if I'm wiring it wrong. The directions aren't too clear. I connected the "wk" to ground and the "g" to the green wire on the gauge. Any help would be great guys. Thanks for reading.

I took the sender off the car. I was thinking maybe I didn't solder it on good enough. I'm going to try to put it back on tomorrow. Hopefully it works. Any help would be great. Thanks

All I can assume is you damaged it inside and it might not be any good. I know that the AEM is much better and 100x more simple to install.

I'm sure they're much better... except for the price.
