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(jim912928 @ Aug 29 2004, 05:15 PM) If I'm lucky, there is a sensor in there and I only need about 2 feet of wire! that is correct! but even if you don't find a sender, all you really need is a plate with a sender, drain the oil, get the right crush-washers, put on the new plate, cut some 2 feet of wire, put new oil in and you're ready to go ...
