...For the Curious..
The Mini Toggle switch at the very top, marked 'Oil Temps', switches from reading the Engine oil to reading the Transaxle Oil, Temps.
This Gauge is the 4th Gauge, Mounted at the Bottom. (just the location it ended up)
The First, Top Gauge Reads 'Engine Coolant' Temp. Now reading 80F 'Garage' Temp as the Engine has Not been Run.
The Second Gauge, from the Top, Reads 'Engine Oil Pressure'. It now Scrolls 'LO' as the Engine is OFF, and it BLINKS On and Off, when the Pressure Drops Below 40 PSI. This Reading is Taken off the Very Rear Oil Port, in the Block (Stock Location for the Sender), expecting to receive the Lowest Reading Possible. If it were to 'sense' Directly off the Oil Pump, the Reading would be the Highest, but would Not be a True reading of the Actual Oil Pressure the Engine is Receiving, Through-Out.
The Bottom Temp Gauge, Now Switched to read Engine Oil Temp, reads a 'Garage Temperature' of 77F, Taken at the Twin Oil Filters, Before the Oil Cooler, All 3 Located at the Rear of the Pantera, AC Screen. ( the AC Condenser has been eliminated, and the wiring now runs a Fan on the Oil Cooler).
While the 'Engine Coolant', Taken at the 'Common' Location in the Block, just above the Waterpump...reads the Garage Ambient Temperature at 80F....interesting. Could be a Difference in the Resistance of each Wire, and/or The Senders, Themselves. The Senders Are Identical.
I posted this to perhaps Spark a few Ideas.
