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:

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?
Thanks,
Bill
