Check the temperature sender on rear iron, and check the plugs on the back of the instrument cluster.

well Ive had the gauge cluster apart many times and again about 2 hours ago. i have continuity all the way to the gauge plug connector from the gauge. Its only 3 plugs so i know there all connected. Time to search under the hood for the temperature probe any idea where its at?

I know this is the oil pressure because I unplugged it and the oil pressure gauge stopped working.


I think this is the temperature probe but im not sure?


well if that is the temp probe the wire is connected and the plug has continuity on that end also. so what should i replace gauge or temp probe?

no that doesnt look like it at all. its to the left of the sender tucked nicely next to the block. it will have a bullet type connector on it. its is mere inches away from sender.
