Okay, long story short I recently had the head off the motor to fix a broken exhaust stud. After reassambly the temp gauge quit working. I assumed that I must have damaged the sending unit ontop of the head either during repairs or when I rolled the jeep the week before. So I replaced it, and just to be on the safe side I replaced the unit on the thermostat housing as well. That did not fix the problem and after a couple weeks trouble shooting the wiring I just gave up and bought a aftermarket gauge. I put the new sending unit in that came with the gauge, ran the wire to the gauge and connected the 12v power and ground to the back of the gauge and of course this gauge doesn't work either. The old gauge never moved off the bottom of the scale except to peg while starting. The new gauge just stays pegged as soon as the power is turned on. I am no longer sure of anything after this.
So I want to ask a couple stupid questions.
The ground strap on the firewall should be hooked to the rear driverside head bolt correct?
Has anyone seen this before?
I would appreciate any response even if its just to point and laugh because I just don't know what to do with it any more.
