I have a shop manual, with wiring diagram, but I still can't seem to figure out where the temperature gauge gets its signal from. Mine has been broken since I got it and I would really like to get it working so I don't have to tack on an autometer gauge or something like that. Where is the sender located on the engine and is it common for them to go bad?

I believe its at the thermostat which is located at the water pump, but i'm not posotive.

No, it's a little bitty sensor right under the oil filter. Sort of by the oil pressure sensor.

 

Ah, that was my second guess.

yes its in the rear iron, right below the oil pressure sending unit.

 

I thought the water temp sensor was this one located in the rear/top of the water pump housing piece?

This is the one that broke on mine............

 

Thanks, i'll check it out as soon as i get a few free minutes. And I just replaced the one in the back of the water pump thinking it was the cause of the problem.

thats the water thermo sensor or "water themo switch" whatever the technical name for it is..

 

one on the back of the water pump is a reading for the ECU.

one under the oil filter and under the oil pressure sender is for the gauge.

 

does anyone know why there are two?
