I took an ohm's reading on the temp gauge ceramic resistor (removed from the gauge) and it read 91.3 Is it bad?
I have two other ones that read 83.3 and 85.1 that I could use in its place.
Another question: I took a reading across the vertical post's of the gauge itself and this was an open circuit. These are the post's that the Ceramic resistor attach's to. Is this correct or should I have got resistance on this reading? My gauge does not work and I am trying to narrow it down to the defective part. My gauge reads in the 4 o'clock position all the time. If I apply power it always goes to the 4 o'clock position no matter where I position the needle before I apply power.
Coppertop: The gauge only has two wires that attach to it via the PCB and attach to the horizontal posts of the gauge, 12volts and the ground that comes from the Temp sensor. The ceramic resistor attach's to the vertical post's of the gauge.
Thanks for the replies!
