i have got a type R temp gauge that im planing on putting in my jimny i was wondering how do i set it up the bottom left goes to the sender does anyone know what wire from the plug in the pics would be the sender wire i think ive got the right plug bottom goes to earth and the bottom right to ignition but what are the top 2 wires for?? its says to put these to dash light circuit what does it mean by this any help much appreciated

[woo603]

by putting to the dash light circuit it will allow the light to turn on when you turn your lights on so you can see your gauge at night

[woo603]

the black one is an earth red is light power so it only has power when light is turned on

k thanks i just wasnt sure if the other power one would do that any ideas on what wire is the sender from the engine

[ellis]

can any 1 tell me what wire is the sender??

you'll need to run the aftermarket sender that came with the gauge, it's resistance will be calibrated to the gauge.

where abouts do i put this in i couldnt see an area for it will i have to make a new hole?

[ellis]

can i use a old wire from the stock sender or will i have to put the new sender in

[atari4x4]

no cause the wire goes to the stock gauge in the dashboard, leave it alone & wire up the new gauge following the instructions.

you need to use the sender that came with the aftermarket gauge as it's resistance is calibrated to the temp range shown on the aftermarket gauge.

ok do you know if there is a spot for the sender in a jimny as i think the stock sender is completely different to the one with the gauge

[atari4x4]

NFI i don't do jimny's

why do you need an aftermarket gauge, maximum respect from the fast n furious crew?
