So I'm fixin the little things on my new 914. The temp gauge is dead. I poked around on the net and did some searches on 914 World. I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.
Located the taco plate and the wire running up into the engine compartment. There is a connector there so I hooked up a volt meter to the wire to see if the sender would give me a voltage reading that moved after I started the car. I got 0-.1 Volts after several minutes. Is my sender dead? Should I be seeing a voltage range or am I way off base with my test? Stewart |

Okay Cap'n.
So should I see 12V coming from the gauge to the sender? If so I should be able to hook up my Volt meter battery -> sender wire and measure resistance. I should see the value change as the motor warms up. |
