meji-nasty Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hey guys...been working on my 1980 720 4x4 love it so far. Everything on on my dash work perfect. Except the coolant temperature gauge. I figure I need to replace the sensor... Not sure where to pick one up...a simple search doesn't bring up much... You guys got any ideas??? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 At the sensor, ground the wire going to it. The gauge, if working, should read full HOT. If it does then the sensor is bad or the contact between it and the wire. If the gauge does not move it could be the wire back to the gauge is broken or the gauge no good. 1 Quote Link to comment
Crashtd420 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Should be able to get that at just about any parts store.... First I would disconnect the wire from the sender and ground it ... that should make to gauge move to full hot... could be as simple as a corroded connection... Also be careful .... some senders just screw in while another style has no threads but uses a nut to secure it... Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 You'll need a picture hosting site like imgur, but there are lots of others that are free and have other options. DO NOT use Photobucket. Load and save your pictures there. When you need them go an retrieve the picture information bring here and insert into your post. Quote Link to comment
