Hey everyone. I am new here but i have my first f250 1992 7.3 idi and its a beat up horse but drives strong and runs great however there are a few electrical things i am baffled about.
My gauge... I thought it wasnt working... so i replaced one coolent senser and came to find out after testing the sensers that they both work. The wiring is hot too... i never seem to overheat but the gauge always stays below center and drops all the way down comming down from a long uphill grade.
When i use my test light to see if the actual coolent temp gauge cluster works when i turn the key to on... the gauge goes only to the first letter after the bottom line.
Usually when you run the test light to the gauge wire and turn the key to on with the other end of the test light beibg hooked up to battery the gauge should spike all the way to hot no?
Anyone habe any ideas on how to trouble shoot this. And does anyome have any advice to offer?
I just really need to know my temp gauge readi gs as i am constantly towing.
Cheers and thanks in advance!
