Temp gauge question

[18Fiatsandcounting]

The resistor mentioned in a previous reply is a current limiting resistor that allows the temperature gauges needle to deflect full left without damaging the gauge.

Spider, I think you mean to "deflect full right"... yes? (full scale)

Thanks Bryan yes full Right full scale into the red zone my bad.

I think a po replaced this resistor with a regular fuse. What to do?

James,
Yep, I get plenty of heat in the cabin. Never had a problem with that.

Bryan,
Fan does come on - usually halfway between the '0' and the beginning of the red zone.

Also (and i think this is not uncommon) if i turn on my headlights with the car running, the temp gauge moves to the right a hair and stays there. Turn off the lights - and it moves back.

Hey Dave,
I got exactly the same Problem.
Did u fix urs in the mean time?

Johnny B,
Nope, haven't solved the problem yet. It is frustrating because before I replaced the two temp senders, I never had thie problem.

Are the wires to the two temperature sensors possibly reversed? Just for grins, try reversing them and see what happens. Or just connect one at a time.
