Well Oiled
Good morning "troops" (guys and gals) !
Ok, I am looking for suggestions here to "fix" my faulty temperature gauge on my '77 cj-7 with 304 V-8.
My temperature gauge has not worked properly for many years. I figure if the engine overheats because the gauge is not accurate, then i'll just blow-a-hose.
I am not so sure my gauge is working properly, or if the sending unit is not heating up properly.
When I removed the instrument cluster a year ago, if I remember properly, the nuts on the rear of the gauge were "loose" and not snug.
I thought one of you "electric-wizard" guys or gals would know what voltage or ohms reading I should be looking for from the sending unit, and how to check ?
Maybe too, some way to check the gauge.
I think I grounded the wire to the engine block sending unit, and the gauge pegged. So I am thinking I am dealing with some sort of "resistance" thing.
I am not on the Forums daily, so it may take me several days to respond to any questions. Thanks !
