Find sender and ground it *briefly* -- needle should head for the sky and blinker should blink. Don't ground for more than long enough to get a full-scale reading. If no joy, bad contact likely at panel connection plug. If success, check local ground and connections. I think a sender should be around 50 ohms (maybe 100, I forget which) for full-scale reading. > Ekta shows a 049 919 501, 1 pin black temperature >sender for coolant temperature guage and a 251 919 >501, 2 pin black temperature sender for coolant >temperature guage thermostat housing.

Thanks gary From ETKA, if it screws in it's one pin; if it's a clip-type it's two-pin. FWIW, Bentley shows a two-pin. If I left out something let me know, I'm running on fumes and oxycodone right now. d >__________________________________ >Do you Yahoo!? >Yahoo!
