Re: Cherokee water temp sender
Thanks. I was under the impression the newer one still had the back
sensor. It had a purple wire going to it. That was for a direct read
gauge. Yours likely is computer generated for the gauge then.

Trouble is that the decsription of rear engine drivers side, assuming
a LHD vehicle equates to N/S on mine, which is a pig to see into as
it's the side the inlet manifold and injectors are on.
I noticed that when the gauge wasn't working properly it was doing
something - it rose to the zero on the gauge, rather than getting no
voltage at all.

Re: Cherokee water temp sender
No Danny you are right. I had the same problem on my 97XJ, and
cleaning the contacts did the trick.

Re: Cherokee water temp sender
I had the same problem - it was a bad wire coming out of the temp
sending unit. I just moved the wire 180degrees and it's been fine
since.
