Rx-7 Water Temp Guage Not Registering

[mr_maj]

i cant spot the sensor does any1 have a pic?

dont know if u can see it from underneath.
but if you oput your hand down the left hand side of the oil filter you should feel a single wire.
unplug that and you`ll need a 11mm socket(deep prefered and 1/4 inch drive).
i even shorted the wire out and the gauge is working .
the one pip sent me doesnt seem to work so im hoping he`s sending me another.

I dont think theres any wire there, iv checked where you said mikey! Unless its completely missing! What route does the wire take to join to the loom? Il see if i can trace it back and see if its been cut.

[mikeyh]

it goes straight into the loom wire has about 3-4 inches.
its on top of the oil pressure switch but just below the oil filter
is abit of a biatch to get to,hands like tained spider i have lol

[mikeyh]
