Car Forum / MINI / November 2004temp guage not working
Hi I just noticed the temp guage on our 92 open classic is not working. The haynes manual doesn't appear to mention it (unless i missed it). I looked on the thermostat housing where i expected to find the sender unit but it just has a couple of vacuum pipes. Any advice on troubleshooting appreciated. later Gary Im racking my brains where the sender is located on the 92 model, did you look above and to the right of number four spark plug? I think it maybe there.....

Its hard to remember, my mini runs the new style block and everything has been moved around!!

Will putting the sender wire to earth test the guage. Years ago the escort wiring doing this put the guage to max. cheers gary test the guage itself ( > On your model, the oil pressure switch should be located above the starter > motor I think?
