Hallo Jeepers.
My temperature gauge is acting like an idiot.
On the highway it gives 210 F and then there is a drop to 190F.
After 5 min it starts al over again.
What would you do first on a very cold day? I have do do it outside in the snow!
#1 To look for an air bubble?
#2 A bad sender? (56027012). Easy fix and to combine with #1.
#3 A bad gauge? Shit.
#4 Bad wires or contacts?
#5 Bad thermostat?? The changes in temp. are too quick?
p.s. If it is #3 maybe a aux gauge will do the job much better. The tread of the sender is 1/8"x 27 NPTF. Most senders of the aux gauges do they have the same size?
any solutions or experiences?
