Weird cooling prob
Had a Thermostat go last season...replaced it with another one and now I don't have a good reading on the gauge, it stays below 100 degrees. The gauge is working, if I short it...the gauge pegs out. Got any ideas?
|
Maybe the Gauge is stuck open ?
|
I think the gauge is fine it just does not register when the tstat is hooked up. When I touch the gauge wire against metal it pegs it out which tells me the gauge is working.
|
It is the sender.You can try taking it out and putting it in hot water to see if it makes the gauge read.But for $8.00 it is not worth all the trouble.
|
ah forgot to mention....did that as well, replaced the sender as well as the tstat.
|
My bad ... I meant the thermo could be stuck open ...take it out and see what temp does

Did you use the Merc t-stat gasket????
It has crush rivets in it that act as a ground for the sender. Also, you if you use sealant on it or it won't ground properly either. |
it does have the merc gasket.....I did put sealant on it. guess the next try would be a new gasket w/ no sealant.
|
Got to have the rivets or the gauge won't work.
