Tach, oil pressure, and coolant temp gauges broken after weber 32/36 DGEV swap

Featured Replies

There's a 2 prong plug on the engine block that isn't used, would that be it? Also I melted the wire for fuel level pretty much at the tank. Any idea where that comes in at the body so I can trace it back?

 

Thanks -CL

Have you checked your fuses? You didnt give much info to go on. Did you unhook the coil? The tack signal wire is a thin yellow wire with a ring terminal on it (iirc its marked with red bands) goes to the (-) lug on the coil.

The 2 prong plug you mentioned, is in the block or the intake manifold? That sounds like the coolant sender which may have been tampered with during your swap. Its in the manifold.

Did you identify where the short is? Why not just run new wires to the sender on the back of the tank and splice it in past the issue.

I know where the "short" (melted when welding bumper back on) is, was wondering where the wire routes so I can splice. And she's in the shop right now, so I only have my memory to go on. The plug comes from the jumble of wires on the us passenger side, and reaches to the manifold. I have just recently replaced the coil. (worked before)
