Title: How can I check the engine Temperature sender Post by: Eaton_FE on December 13, 2009, 05:18:06 PM I am not sure if my engine temperature sender unit is working or not, How can I test it to see if it is. If I short out the wire on it to the body the light works.
The milion dollar question is how do I know if it will come on when the engine it hot. ???
