I have a combo gauge that I plan to install in place of das blinkin licht. It's a stock gauge with gas level on the bottom and the temp on the top. I have found (I believe) the wire under the battery tray that runs up and through the center console. I will test to make sure.
I am planning an oil change with this process. Anyway, I have a few questions before I do this. 1) Are there any tips or tricks to installing the sender and cover? 2) What are the torque settings for those 2 bolts. I know it's a sensitive area. 3) What gauge wire should I run from the sender to the harness in the engine bay? 4) What gauge wire from the harness between the seats to the gauge/dashboard. 5) Any other tips or tricks for those that have done this? Please let me know. TIA |

QUOTE The only movement i get from the Gauge is when i start the car (ignition) the needle moves. anyone have any idea whats going on. Do these sensor brake??????? It takes awhile with the motor running for the oil to warm up. Generally, if the needle wiggles when the key goes on, it's working. Just drive/wait. |
