  • Autometer Water Temp Guage?

    I just got Autometer water temp guage, now can someone please walk me through the install.
    I already run the guage to the power and need to tap in to the sending unit. I tried the one under the TB but I get the SES light on was that the right one I had it connect it to, and also my fan would be on all the I drive the car.
    OH and its a 3.8 for FYI
    TY for any info :eek:

    you need to run it to its own sending unit, that came with the gauge.

    the stock one, controls the fans (which is why your fans were on) and is used by the computer

        Thought I heard somewhere that you could put temp sensors where the freeze plugs go or I'm just stupid.

            Now the return hose is the top one or the bottom one?
