Merc 6.2
 
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...16ede10bc2.png
Has anyone seen these before ( it’s not a butt connector) it is wired inline to the thermostat sending unit. It appears to change the temp reading by 10 to 15 degrees. It’s on a 2006 mercruiser 6.2. Thanks

measure it w/ an ohm meter and see if it has a resistance value.

It might be used as a pull up resistor.

98outlawse 08-18-2019 08:23 PM

The problem is it’s broke in half, so I won’t be able to pull the ohms

Cut the covering off. See if it is a resistor inside. If so the resistance will be the color code on the outside.

It might be 2000-2200.

So this resistor will pull the temp reading down on the gauge to match what the Rinda shows it’s reading?

^^^^^^^^^^^ Underpsi posts --- Bingo .

So where can you get them, or is it possible to change to a different temp sending unit and eliminate the resistor? And thank you.

U need to post your engine serial number and which 6.2 do you have

98outlawse 08-18-2019 09:20 PM

Thank you, I will get the serial number, I’ll probably reply with it tomorrow unless I come up with it on some paperwork work I have here.
