Chris Green Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Ok, so I just wired up and fitted paseo dials. Everything is working fine on them except the temperature gauge. When I turn the key to ignition the neddle just rises off the scale. Does anyone know if this is my wiring or is the gauge broke?Cheers Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Youve missed a earth connection, mine did that when i was messing with the inlet manifold i left the earth off at the back of the mani....it wouldnt start and the temp needle shot up re-check your wiring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It climbs quite slowly and just goes off the gauge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 iirc you cant attach the earth cable back on to the rolla mani the earth takes a 10mm and the bolt hole in the back of the mani is 12mm you can either bore it out or attach it elsewhere......dont attach it to the firewall i had problems when i did this so i bored it out and put it on the back of the maniit could be that the your loom has a different feed for the temp gauge and some wires need swapping around....your going to have to trace the wires on the cluster and on the the loom to see if its the right one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 ah, that could be the problem, by firewall do you mean the bulkhead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 yeah, it made loads of clicky noises when driving i didnt have a problem with the temp gauge tho....either way attach the earth else where and see how she fares Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Green Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I moved the earth wire back to the manifold. I'm still having the same problem anyone else have any idea what this could be?Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Can only suggest you have a look at the connector on the cluster and make sure the temp gauge is getting the right feed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
