It seems to be getting hot to the touch and just barely registers a temp change after the engine is warmed up. I haven't checked a thing yet, but thought I would ask for input. Thanks all...is it Friday yet? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

The wire to the senders get brittle from engine heat. The voltage does not pass as it should, therefore the temp will be off. In the telephone business we have what are know as High Joints. They let the signal (voltage) pass but it causes distortion. The wire is making intermittent contact because the voltage is jumping the small opening. The insulation of the wire is what holds the wire together to complete the circuit.
As for the difference in the guages, the temp scales are identical when you look at the range printed on them when you take them out of the case. The red lines are different though. The senders start and end at different temps. |
