      I suspect our temperature probe might have failed. The wire that attaches to the stud on the top spins around fairly easy even with the nut tight above and below the terminal. I’m trying to understand how apply 28 ohms resistance to it to verify the oil temp gauge. Can anyone explain the test in layman terms?

      Thanks, Pat Hendren

      Pat,

      Take the electrical eyelet off your sending unit and connect it to one leg of the resistor. Then ground the other leg, now see what the gauge in the cluster reads.

      Cheers
