Posted: Fri Jun 15, 2018 1:39 pm Post subject: Coolant temp gauge not working |
|
|
My temp gauge has stopped working this year.. Ridden her twice for about half an hour and the gauge doesn't come off of the bottom of the blue... It does come off the peg when the ignition is on...
Fuel gauge works and bike seems to be running fine...
Where is the sender ? Front of engine or rear ? Left or right side ?
I know to ground the wire to test the gauge.. Just don't know where the sender is located on the engine..
Thanks
John |

Would help to know what bike you are working on.....
More than likely you will find the sender for the gauge on the water/oil pump at the front of the engine.
The sensor closest to the block will be for the oil pressure lamp, the other one, farthest from the block will be for the coolant gauge. _________________ Ride safe.

John - if you put your model and year in your signature, it's easier for people to answer questions about your bike. _________________ Jim

The sender is on the middle front bottom of the engine at the bottom of the water/oil pump.
This picture is from a K without the sensor but the yellow circle around the plug is where the temp sensor is. Yes, if you ground the lead it should peg the temp gauge needle.
