Default you could plug them directly into the senders in the engine bay..

using some random wires.. you wouldnt have to dig into the console that way and that shouldnt be too hard

Default you could just give them 12v's to see if they register..

they're all electronic and should respond to electricity in one way or another.. however, that doesnt tell you if they're reading accurately
