where is sending unit located?
and your saying disconnect the wir going to the sending unit? and get a wire and ground it somewhere and the temp guage should go all the way up?
the coolant temperature sensor shouldnt be around that area should it?Yes. That's what im saying. and yes the sensor is below the throttle body in the thermostat area, a single wire hooked to it. looks like
And i replied to the PM also.
I'll go check on the other question to make sure what lights up. But I know my check oil light doesn't come on unless it's low of oil.
edit: i checked. when i turn my key on, all that lights up is the check engine light and battery light. then when i crank it, all the lights go out. but like i said in the mPM i may not have the bulb in the brake light area.
I think it has been taking out and i cant get into my dash so i cant trace the wire where is the wire for it?and it has a aftermarket temp guage with one wire that doesnt work thats why i was trying to hook the orginal up
all i got is two sensor looking things in my thermostat housing one has two electrical wires with a plugin and th other goes to my aftermarket temp guage which wont work.Can someone show me a picture of the exact place of the stock temp sending unit on a 1988 2.9l
Ok i found the right wire the guy that had the truck before me just threw out the sending unit and hooked the other guage up i got a wire and grounded it like you said and the temp guage went up so am just going to get a new sending unit.but what could be wrong with the aftermarket guage? the wire is not messed up its more like a cable and its in the spot where the stock temp guage thing is and it doesnt tell the temp?could it be the guage or the sending unit on it?
ok i got the stock sending unit and am going to hook it up for now am going take a good look at the wire if it is pinched can i just unpinch it and will it work?
