Working on a 73 1.7.
Original center console 3 gauges. Just got around to installing a "taco plate" and sending unit. Power off - needle is below the lowest temp mark. Power on - it is exactly at the lowest / start of range on dial. After some run time (warm weather almost an hour ) the gauge needle moves about 1/4 of an inch. This seems to be not working correctly. To test the gauge can I ground the sender wire and what effect should that have on the gauge movement ? Thinking it should peg the gauge into the hot / far right sweep. If it does would the culprit be a wrong sender ? Ordered this sender from AA and it was meant to be the right, one but now thinking it is wrong . Your help or thoughts ... |
