Okay, I finally got my 914 registered and have been trouble shooting a few things. My engine temp gauge is not even hooked up and neither is my AMP guage. I was wondering is anyone knew where the engine temp sensor is located? Same for the AMP reader? Thanks.

I still can't seem to figure out how the the Ammeter works? Please, where the heck is the sender located? Where does the +B and the +L connectors connect to? It is just sitting there on my dash, doing nothing and I want all my guages to be functional.
I got my RPM gauge to work. The brown wire was not even connected to the coil, so I connected it and it works now. But I am still lost as how to wire up the AMP. |

Did you look at the wiring diagram on the site I referenced earlier? No? Well look at it. There IS NO SENDER! You interrupt the wire between the alternator and the battery, running the interruptor wire all the way to the gauge and back. Plan on 12-15 feet of heavy gauge wire, some crimp connectors, and some sturdy eyelet connectors. All securely and properly crimped so you don't develop unwanted charging problems. Not soldered, and not using insulated connectors. You really don't want to do this, BTW. Much simpler to toss the amp gauge and install a proper voltmeter, connected through a relay to the battery (that's if you want it to be accurate). The Cap'n |
