coolant temp gauge location

[woodwarm]

Where to fit new digital coolant temp gauge.
didn't want to buy or even know where to mount a pod.

Solution, gently remove one air vent above heater controls.Cut a 50mm hole in the center & cut out 20mm from the top of vent frame,enabling the gauge to fit flush into the vent.
The aperture leading into airbox is sealed, so to run the 3 wires I drilled a hole through the inside towards the back of the hazard switch.the wiring was easily routed to power,earth & temp sender.

You should have stuck it front of the speedo, you don't need one on a 2.4.

Don't be silly, Vince. Of course He'll still need the speedo. On many residential streets, the speed limit has been reduced to 20 mph.... .

After wiring the unit, it failed

Digits are illegible, ie only shows 1/2 of the numbers.

Double check your earth connection, if that is not sound, it gives the symptoms you described.
