I installed the Auto gage cluster, and connected the instrument lighting wiring. I temporarily installed the other mechanical temp gauge in place of the electric water temp sensor location. I am trying to determine 2 things by doing this install, one, if the engine is actually running hotter or two, if the temperature electric sending unit was not properly grounded.
Tomorrow I should be able to re-fill the coolant system and check the engine temperature with the two mechanical temp gauges.
I had to remove the radio to install the new instrument cluster and decided to leave it out while doing the temperature checks.
I am considering re-wiring the switched power to the volt meter.
