Ok, my temperature gauge doesn't register at all. Car runs fine, but I really don't want to run it long without knowing what temperature range I'm running in. So, I need to begin diagnosing this problem but first I'd like to know where in the heck the temp sender is located? I'm guessing it can only be 1) wiring, 2) gauge or 3) sender. So, once I find out where the sender is how do I test it?
Car is a 75 1.8l....again, as usual...thanks in advance! |

QUOTE If it's orig. wiring - replace the wires. They're 30 years old... Wire doesn't tend to go bad with age. Connectors, however, do corrode and fatigue over time. With any electrical problem in any old car, 90% of the time, it's a connection problem. No need to replace the whole wire to fix, just the ends, with new connectors, properly attached. |
