Water Temp operation by itself. How to configure
I just installed new fuel and oil pressure gauges from Autometer. Now my
temperature gauge doesn't work. Can the temp gauge be run without connecting to the fuel gauge (there's a crossover there which combines the two) and if so how is it configured? Thanks, Bill |
Re: Water Temp operation by itself. How to configure
Nope.
The power for the temp gauge comes from a voltage regulator built into the gas gauge via that copper strip. It needs 5 volts. You 'can' just make up a small electronic voltage regulator to power up the gauge, they are pretty easy to make if you know how to solder. Here is a good link on how the stock gauges works: http://www.off-road.com/jeep/tech/electrical/gauges/ Mike 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's William Oliveri wrote: > > I just installed new fuel and oil pressure gauges from Autometer.

Re: Water Temp operation by itself. How to configure
So if I under stand you correctly I the voltage regulator would drop 12
volts down to 5 to power the gauge. Is this correct? Is so It would look like this: 12v source -> 5v regulator -> To pole on temp gauge opposite sender pole. Yes?

Yes.
Here is a link on a regulator: http://members.aol.com/moparnuts/modify.htm Mike William Oliveri wrote: > > So if I under stand you correctly I the voltage regulator would drop 12 > volts down to 5 to power the gauge.
