Temp Gauge Test

Test the temp gauge in your instrument cluster by grounding the connector at the head. If it pegs the gauge, then you know the sender is bad. Otherwise, your problem is between the connector and gauge itself.

So I did this test and it worked, But now it stays at high even when I don't have it grounded anymore. How do I reset the effects of the grounding test?

Hey man, good tip!
This is Ben from machining at parkland.
Just wanted to make sure that you heard spring break was extended a week so I don't think there's going to be class or lab.

I'm assuming this can work to find the coolant sending wire aswell?

How about if it has 2 wires, how can i know which one i attach it to the ground?
