After market temp gauge
« on: June 13, 2022, 06:09:38 PM »
Recently my '83 C10 overheated.  Turned out to be a faulty radiator cap.  But now my aftermarket temp gauge will not rest on "cold" even after it's been parked a couple of days. 

Any thoughts? 

Thanks,
John

Check your sensor, heat it up and see if your resistance changes with temperature, check the wiring and gauge if the sensor it good.
