nick 3 Posted April 26, 2006 (edited) As above, neither of them work. I have shorted the wires to both senders and the gauge and STOP/low pressure lights work fine but when I plug the wires back on to each sender I get nothing, the gauge doesn't work when the engine is running and I don't get the STOP/low pressure lights with the ignition at the first click. Are the gauges linked in any way with a common earth or something? or am I just unlucky that both sensors have died at the same time? When I bought the car about 8 months ago the gauge did work intermitently (and has flickered breifly on long runs) but 99% of the time does nothing.

Grim.Badger 15 Posted April 27, 2006 Probably a stupid question, but have you checked the brown multiplug? Both wires go through there as far as I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted April 27, 2006 As both gauge and lights work when shorting the wires (that go thorough the brown plug) I had discounted the wiring, but i'll give it a clean tonight just to make sure. Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted April 27, 2006 where did you ground the wires? if it was at the sensor end and you grounded them onto the block (same as the sensors) then you've tested the whole circuit and it has to be the sensors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nick 3 Posted April 28, 2006 I put a long wire into the end of the wires in the loom and grounded it on the door hinge so I could sit inside the car and watch the dash. Sensors it is then!! Cheers lads, Nick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers lads, Nick might be worth grounding it to the block just in case, although you'd probably have starting issues if there was an earth problem on the block.

nick 3 Posted April 28, 2006 Good point regarding the block earth, no starting issues whatsoever, but again, worth checking. The Mi should be going in soon and I know the sensors are fine on that, It would just be nice to get them working on the 8v so I know I haven't got to start pissing about with them during the conversion.
