Hello,
I need to trouble shoot my temeprature guage on my 1970 IIA 88 with an original smiths temperature gauge.
My temp sender is threaded into the drivers (left side) on the front of the engine.
I replaced the sender, cap, thermostat, fan belt tension is correct, fluid is new and correct 50/50 ratio. The voltage stabilizer is about one year old and my fuel gauge is fine, so I don't suspect the stabilizer. I used a infered thermometer and I checked all accesable surfaces of the engine and radiator and they read 88° which matches my thermostat.
can I use a ohm meter to check the voltage coming out of the stabilizer? I know the stabilizer steps the voltage down from 12-
Can anybody tell me how to use a voltmeter to check the signal coming from my sender unit?
Thanks
Todd
