Hi All, Searched but nothing really found. My temperature gauge moves under acceleration....yes that is not a typo. Sits under half when stationary then drops to under C when accelerating. Also, my 4wd light in the dash comes on and off, under acceleration also. Possible earth fault??? Where do I find the culprit if it might be the case?? Help 
Cheers Rusho |

Can you see any loose wires hanging in there? Sounds like something is crossed up! Maybe a hole has rubbed in the insulation on a pair and is crossing them over? Can you park on a hill (to simulate acceleration) and unplug both of the wires causing issues (temp sender and 4wd light) and then test them? EDIT: Apparently it's most likely to be an earth fault as below (for anyone who's searched and found this). |

Check you earth wire from the body to the battery, could be only getting an earth through the acc cable by the sounds of it. |

I had the same problem with my Vit mate, add a heavy gauge Earth wire from your body to your battery and should be sorted. |

mine was doing the temp thing the other week, 2800rpm it went nuts I just crimped the terminal up and pushed it back on 
unplug the transfer switch, see if that fixes the light |

i had the same problem with my vit temp used to move with revs found that sender unit had a bad connection and the backflow from the fan was causing the temp to move. squeezed the lug and slip it back on and the guage hasn't moved since. |

I know it's more than likely to be the earth (as mentioned previously), but if it turns out it isn't, I have a spare coily cluster you could use for trouble shooting. unless of course steaky's fix has been used
