Question Hooking up Water Temp gauge in FC

just did a Turbo II converison to my Rx7. i'm running a fluydine radiator and everything, and my temp gauage on my cluster doesnt work along with my fuel/ RPM/ background lights, i'm wondering if something isnt hooked up and thats all interconnects? but anyways, back on topic, i have an autometer water temp gauge and want to see if anyone knows where exactly the green wire splices into? any help will be very much appreicate

You have a blown fuse most likely. Check the fuses near your kick panel. I beleive it is the 2nd from the top in the forward most coulmn of fuses.

Are you sure the Autometer gauge can just be spliced into the existing temp gauge? I thought it needed it's own temp sensor.
There is only one wire coming out of the stock temp sensor that is located under the oil filter pedastal and tucked behing the oil pressure sending unit. Again, not sure if you can just splice into it though.

I would not go slicing and splicing into your stock loom. I recently installed an Autometer water temp. gauge in my race car and I just wired it direct. You do have to use the Autometer sensor and you will have to either get an adaptor or tap the hole for NPT.
