Reply to "Temp Gauge Readings"

George PAdmin.

TT,

My temp gage is reasonably accurate. I had a problem with the needle pulsing to zero or just staying at zero unless I pushed on the gage bezel. The problem was a loose connection behind the gage (the 10 ohm resistor), once that connection was repaired it has read bitchen ever since.

Assuming your evaluation of your cooling system is accurate, I would suspect a wiring problem. If its reading high, that would indicate a short circuit somewhere (temperature indication increases as the resistance in the measuring circuit decreases). The resistor spliced into the circuit behind the gage may be shorting somehow. I would check the wiring behind the gage first. And the connection at the "sensor" second.

your "wired" friend on the PIBB, George
