Temperature gauge/ sender playing funny buggers? Mon, 25 April 2005 07:17 Go to previous message
i have some issues with my temperature gauge...

i notice the gauge goes up very fast from 0' (this is an sa63 dash) thats acceptable i think...
i bought a brand new switch for the thermos - 85"C it switches on, 80 off.

Whilst testing this the other day, i noticed the car getting over 1/2,and no fans running... so i shut it down, i soon later went back to see how far it had crept and if the fans had cut in. the gauge was at about 75% and the fans were going. surely 85"c isnt 75% of a celica gauge?

I'm pretty sure the sender for the temp in it is either out of a mx62 cressida or a sv21 camry. So i go off to the wreckers today and look for some senders. I found a celica one (ra60) which shares the same dash. I bought this home and then boiled some water to test it. Fresh boiled water in the kettle had the needle up to about 40-45% of the gauge. I havent installed it on the car, as im confused as hell if its going to make any difference...

Help please?!

Thanks
Blake
