Are you sure it is connected to the correct pins? One half of the sender
controls a glow plug relay, the other the gauge, IIRC. Each signal uses
a separate ground, i.e. the sender is grounded on two terminals. I used
this on my previous setup and was very accurate. If you don't have the
Bentley that covers the AAZ I have one and can do a pin lookup.
