I've been having erratic readings on dash gauge. I pulled the connector and grounded the single wire. When I turned the key to "On" the gauge pegged on H. Decided to replace the sensor.
Why does this sensor have a two prong connection, although only one wire is being used? The old sensor had the same two connectors with only one in use.
To remove the sensor I removed and replaced the thermostat at the same time as replacing the sensor.
After all this the dash gauge isn't moving at all. After running the motor for a few minutes, my ELM327 bluetooth OBD II device connected, Torque Pro realtime temp I was at 190.4 F. No movement at all on the dash gauge.
Is it possible that the new gauge is not connected? (i.e. the single wire feeding the incorrect terminal of the two that are in the sensor)
Ran out of daylight, so I'll be back on this tomorrow.
