I'm having troubles with my oil pressure gauge, and I have no idea why.

So what happens is - my fuses (10A) are blowing non-stop.

Let me run you through the current setup and situation:
-The pressure gauge is added to the fuse box via add-a-fuse on the blower/audio slot, and I used 2x 10A fuses to run it.
-It was running well for over a year, but last year it started to show weird readings - as if everything was shifted up by cca 30psi. For example: instead of showing 20psi in idle, it would show 45psi. On full gas it also showed too high reading. It did once go back to normal, but usually showed too high.
-So over the winter, I bought a new oil pressure sensor, figuring that my old one might be broken and replaced it.
-First moment I connected it, it blown a fuse. I switched wires on the sensor, figuring I might've misconnected them....it then worked - but again broke very soon.
And ever since - it's been blowing the fuse basically within a minute or few whenever I try to run it.

I tried to change the wiring for the pressure gauge - but it didn't work. Below I'm quoting the pressure gauge diagram... and just for info - I had it connected with both orange and red wire together - and to the fuse. I figure that's OK....but blowing the fuse confuses me.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The cable has 4 wires, Black, Red (+ and -), Orange, White.
The white wire can be ignored, as it's used to provide white illumination.
On the right side you can see the combinations for different lightings, and the one with orange wire is what I'm after. I'm only confused with where I'm supposed to connect it.
