Temp gauge

Post by **Leatherneck** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 9:07 am

Does anybody have the schematic for a oil temp gauge? Seemed to of lost mine.

It has 3 male connector one being for Sender one for (+) and guessing one for (-) ground would that be correct? I do not want to assume I have it right and fry something. Thanks guys!

Thanks David, I am going with the first one. Really appreciate your help here and elsewhere on STF.

No problem I thought the first one would be confusing but they wire the same way doesn't matter if it is pressure or temp.

You guys should really try google.

Can I run an oil pressure idiot light along with a gauge?

If so, where do I put it in the circuit?

You need to add a tee into the existing oil pressure outlet, then you can run both.

If you are running an external oil filter you can use that for your gauge and the stock temp sender for your light. But that is only if.

No external oil filter....yet. Skid tells me he runs stock doghouse and doesn't have heating problems.

I have an electric sender. Can I tee off the wire?

I would say no, but if the resistance is the same then that would be a yes, or a maybe. Do you have part numbers etc.......to compare? You have 2 different things going on here a light that lights when it sees no pressure and a gauge that senses pressure. Simplest thing to do is use a tee with both sensors then wire them up.

Good choice sticking with stock cooling.. unless it's a $400 project, the chineese parts will not be an improvement.
