2 years ago my "brand-x"(MoPar) engine overheated badly & time running as fast as usual + the rest of life coming between so now I don't remember if the gauge was alive after the overheating...
(& for those who don't know Josephine is a -55 with -64 gauges because of 12v system.)
So now I wonder if anyone knows how high temperature the gauge can take? The engine did run DRY! & was leaking oil big-time badly from under the inlet manifold.
& here's for those who's been wondering/never understod how temp & also gas meters works elecrical, I've had it badly explained many times but just now I got a GOOD explination at last:
The meter gets + from the egnition key & gives it to the feeler/sender who connects it to - / ground.
So to check if the sender is fault you check the wire coming from the gauge & if no + comes from there (as in my case) the gauge is faulty or the wire is broken on its way. But if you do get + from that wire then ofcourse the sender on the engine is broken.
Anyway, back to reality: could a gauge get burned?
