Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone out there could figure this one out.
I recently installed a new speedometer cluster from Omix-Ada. The gas gauge appears to be working fine, but the temperature gauge steadily climbs to just under the H within about 40 seconds after running the motor.
I ohmed out the temperature sensor and it's right on the money according to the gauge diagnostic articles on the web.
I thought maybe the engine was overheating, but I installed a temporary mechanical temperature gauge and all seems well.
I ordered a new speedometer cluster thinking the first cluster was bad and the new one does exactly the same thing.
I have actually isolated the entire cluster with direct wiring from the sensor, battery and 3 different grounds.
What's up?
I just re-did the entire dash to make it look stock and I really don't want to start sticking other gauges to it.
Could Omix-Ada have miscalculated when designing that gauge? Anyone else using one of these clusters?
