Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Maintenance and Repair / April 2006Analog Temp Gauge
The one that fits in the dash of a '93 Dynasty LE 6-cyl. 3.3. Normally a gauge will read .50 (mid-way)- this one reads between .25 and 50 on the scale, why doesn't it go to the halfway point as indicated in the owner's manual? mho ve > The one that fits in the dash of a '93 Dynasty LE 6-cyl. 3.3. > > Normally a gauge will read .50 (mid-way)- this one reads between .25 and > 50 on the scale, You say normally a gauage reads .50 - which one. Is it the one in your car, a neighbors or??? Is the qauge calibrated numerically? If so I'm not sure what .50 means...is it centigrade maybe? > why doesn't it go to the halfway point as indicated in the owner's > manual?

You are not making any sense. Your numbers mean nothing at all... For instance, My temperature sender 'in the engine' reads 73 ohms full cold and 9 ohms full hot. But the beginning of the gauge in the dash's color band for the needle starts when the sender hits 36 ohms and tops the band at 13 ohms. Not very linear.

In other words, it's only going up quarter-way rather than half-way. I suspect a bad thermostat. > You are not making any sense.

Not sure of the history on the auto , but the thermostat stuck once to the extent that - the radiator blew-out, radiator / thermostat both were replaced at the time. The needle reading you assessed is right on target. The only thing questionable as to the low temp reading is that the x-mission fan comes on when the key is switched on, and stays on until the key is turned off. I was told this is normal. But still, the indexer should be positioned mid-way the scale - when everything is copacetic. mho ve |
