Temperature sender
1994 Chevy s-10, V6 4cu.
temp sender on left side of block viewing from front.
Original Issue:
temp gauge maxed out. Turned engine off and cooled - still maxed when turning ignition on. Chevy dealer provided a replacement sender. Was not same one-wire connector. They provided a compatible connector.
Problem:
Temp Gauge at zero when ignition off, moves 1/8 inch when on. Never changes position. When thermostat release water flow and sender senses temp change the CHECK ENGINE light comes on indicatingsender is functional. Suggests a mismatch in sender resistance. Dealer says that's all they can provide.
Question:
How can I modify the resistance to match the gauge movement scale?
