Cherokee water temp sender
 
Hi, My '97 4.0l I6 cherokee has started to display an erratic temp
gauge - it sits at 0 then intermittently rises to display the correct
temp. I don't have a manual for the vehicle - where is the temp
sender located and is this (or it's wiring) likely to be the fault?
All other gauges work fine and there's no check engine light on. Thanks,

It should be a purple wire on a sensor right at the back top driver's
side corner of the engine head. That sensor runs the gauge on the 4.0.

Thanks Doug and Mike. Found it (right in front of my eyes!) - all
looks fine, will WD40 it.
