No, though in many cases the sensors will look the same or very very similar. The light is "switched" on by the temp switch earthing out and the guage is "sent" towards the high end of the scale by its sender allowing voltage to earth at a progressive rate as the temperature increases (by a change in resistance in relation to temperature of the sender unit).Originally Posted by thatotherguy

You should have an earth on your column near the ignition switch (I think it might also join the harness earth coming from the combination switch out of the column) and another in the black harness coming out of the quad guages that as has been pointed-out should attach to the alloy frame. Dependant on what harness you're using/adapting you may have another one near the clock (not sure of the colour of the wire). Make sure you've got the main harness plug together properly..... Guilty of that one myself a few times in past years.Cool, thanks for the help mate..You wouldn't have any pics of you dash when it was out by chance?? I was thinking that there may be some other earth that I have missed..
Hopefully I can get to it tomorrow arvo cause I have a free period at school last, so might sign out and come home and have a go at trying to fix it..
Its a pain in the arse isn't it.. lol I hate wiring, there is soooo much that can go wrong and it can happen when and where ever it like.. hahaha
