Radiant-Designer Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 So I have been trying to find out why my temp gauge doesn't work, it did before but not recently... Maybe I unplugged something sitting the Weber upgrade, or perhaps when checking my Speedo cable.... So I started looking under the dash and there are 2 wires with ends on them that are just not connected to anything. A blue and a yellow with red stripe. My guess is windshield washer motor but Idk, can anyone tell me where they go? Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Is the wire plugged into the temp sending unit? Where the upper rad hose connects....just below it Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Also what is this? There are two, the other one has stuff plugged into it, this one is just hanging out for good looks apparently.... This one is on the pass side of the steering wheel http://s1112.photobucket.com/albums/k495/radiant-designer/?action=view¤t=IMAG0779.jpg Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes, I even unplugged it, cleaned it and plugged it back on. Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Usually there are 2...1 for the 4-way emergency flashers The other for blinkers. Did you check the sender?????? Quote Link to comment

Radiant-Designer Posted September 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yes I checked the wire going to the sender, but didn't. Check the sender itself.... My truck is a 77 from Calif, I took out all the smog stuff, wondering if one of those may have been attached somehow. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just below the upper rad hose you'll find the sender in the thermostat housing. It will have a single Yellow/White strip wire. If unplugged, plug it in. If no work, take back off and ground the end against the block..... the gauge should read FULL HOT (if working) Is your gas gauge working? If it is then there is power to the temp sender because they both run off the same supply. Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I guess cleaning it up helpred becuase today on my way to work the gauge started moving and stayed about 1/2 way most of my trip! But my real question here is whats that big capaciter looking thing, (There are two of them, one on each side of the steering wheel collumn, this one that isnt plugged into anything is on the pass side but near the steering wheel) The lights on my dash work for blinkers and hazard, ill have to check if they work on the lights themselves. And what are the two wires that are in the back of my speedo area? the blue and yellow with red stripe (not the beer from jamacia lol) They have bullet ends but are not pugged into anything Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 That thing on the steering column should be your turn signal flasher. The other one is for the hazard. There should be an L shaped plug somewhere near there.Not sure what the other wires are. I don't have a schematic for a 77. Quote Link to comment
