Re: Yet another gauge question: CJ
The jumper is to get the regulated 5V to the temperature gauge. The fuel
gauge does not have to work for the temperature to work as long as the
regulator works.

I made a voltage regulator that could handle 7 amps and tried that.
Then I figured out I have an internal bad connection in the fuel
gauge...

Re: Yet another gauge question: CJ
But isn't there only one hot wire going to the fuel gauge? And then if that
wire somehow does not get juice, it doesn't jump over to the temp gauge,..is
that a correct assumption??
thanks
