hello i recently bought a autometer coolant temp gauge, i w\have it all wired up and every only the sending wire is left, right now i am using the sendng unit to tell me the ambient engine bay temp , cuz idk where to stick it at, i was gon put it in place of the stock, but when i unplug the stock one the fan kicks on and the cluster reads -40 degrees, is there anywhere else i can put it at? maybe the coolant resevoir? upper radiator hose?

ps-dont give me no why'd u get a temp gauge when you have a digital one ****, cuz i dont feel having the dam thing set to coolant all the time, i like to keep it at my mileage

 

what all did the gauge come with??? you have a picture of what you have?

 

why dont you tee it off.

 

2 spots on the left i thingk

 

its a electrical one, so the sendign unit is electric

 

so couldn't you splice into the wire coming off of the coolant temp. sensor then?

 

i was thinking of doin that, only thing is that im not sureif the signal they send is the same, as far as this much current=this much temp, ya know, but i will try it, plus the stock one has 2 wires coming from it, and they are both the same color, so idk which on the sending one is
