So I'm fixin the little things on my new 914. The temp gauge is dead. I poked around on the net and did some searches on 914 World. I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.
Located the taco plate and the wire running up into the engine compartment. There is a connector there so I hooked up a volt meter to the wire to see if the sender would give me a voltage reading that moved after I started the car. I got 0-.1 Volts after several minutes. Is my sender dead? Should I be seeing a voltage range or am I way off base with my test? Stewart |

The one I'm waiting for is the aftermarket sender to go with the VDO gauge.
It was supposed to come with the gauge but they forgot to ship it. Weeks later...no sender. Live and learn. Mike |
