Thread: Temperature sensor

I put in the new temperature sensor, same part number as the previous one (PRC4430).

It works, but is looking a little hot on the gauge. The needle runs up through the white, and through the black and to just before the red bit starts.

And sits there.

Now I don't know if I've picked up the wrong sensor, or it is something else.

Suggestions please.

Check that the gauge itself is properly earthed. If it is like mine it is earthed via a set of tags under one of the gauge mounting nuts, and this was loose.
(actually my problem was with the fuel gauge, but same applies)
