Default Oil Pressure/Temperature Gauge only work in cold weather!

I have an 07 Lariat 5.4L Screw RWD.
177k miles.

My problem:
The oil pressure and temperature gauges do not work unless its cold out. Like 40's and below. Any ideas? I'm lost and don't know where to start.

I agree... Could be a bad connection in the pin connector also.

Probably stepper motor in gauge. A speedo repair shop can replace them.

I used A+ Speedometer Service on Leon Rd. I can't find a recent review of them so I wonder if they're still around. Phone # I have is 904-642-8120. There's another repair shop on the same street called NV Performance but I know nothing about them.
