Temp gauge wire

[JCJ]

Ok, I have a done a bit of searching but I haven't found anything at this point and I need this done.

I have a 90 GMC Suburban 350 4x4 and my temp gauge is not working. The reason it is not working is because I do not have the connector for the green wire that attaches to the side of the engine. The wire has the connector on it but the engine side is missing a part.

Does anyone maybe have a picture or can point in the direction of what it will take to get it connected.

Thanks

Sounds like you need a new temp sensor

The temp sensor that is in the top of the manifold next to the thermostat has been recently replaced.

That is for the computer.

The one I was referring to possibly needing replaced is the one in the side of the head, for the gauge, sensor/sender,,,whatever

Alright, so I just went out the Suburban for lunch and found my problem. My wire wasn't conenctoed because it was disconnected. I was looking last night for it and I couldn't find it because it was dark and I wasn't completely looking. So day light is nice to find things and now my temp gauge is working.

Thanks for the help guys.

Oh, I get it now.


Welcome to ck5 by the way. Always good to have another guy from Fresno.

Thanks Avery. Where do you do your wheeling at around here? I used to run a Toyota and a Cherokee and most of the guys I wheeled with tell me I shouldn't even bother doing the trails around here unless its bald mountain, as I will come out with a lot of body damage. But a full size is a little bigger than a Toyota or a Jeep I guess.

I always thought body damage was cool.

I go to pismo a couple times a year to go fast and do my crawling up around shaver. There is a good little group of us that go together if you check out norcalbigdawgs.net you'll find us.
Well those guys were right that you'll get body damage up here in a full-size but so what. I've got my fair share of sheetmetal damage but I get it done.
