Hi, this is my first time posting. I've looked for the next step on the forums but I am out of ideas.
My engine temp guage just pegs to high whenever I hook it up. It worked last year before I tore into the restoration. It's a 65 coupe. Here is what I have done:
I first replaced the sending unit. Tried a few wires and got it working. Go forward a year and now it just pegs at high. I thought maybe there was a short in the wire and it was grounding somewhere along the way. I ran a new wire on the outside of the car and hooked it up. Same result. I thought maybe the voltage limiter was bad, because this is not my only cluster issue, so I replaced the limiter. Same result.
I then pulled a guage out of another 64 coupe to see if it was the guage itself. I got the same result with the other guage.
One thing to note, I thought I was supposed to be getting pulse current out of this limiter but it is just constant, is that the problem?
What can I try next? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.
