Ok guys im new to this whole forum stuff so please forgive me if I am not doing this right. LOL
We have a 95 k1500 that we have been rebuilding for my son and we are having some problems with the temp guage not reading. When we got the truck it had an aftermarket temp guage on the A piller, it was a single wire running to the temp sensor located between cylinders on the drivers side of the engine. We removed the gauge on the a piller and found the cut wireing for the factory temp gauge. We then hooked the single wire up to one of the 2 cut leads and was able to get the stock guage to "work". Notfeeling super confident on the readings and not wanting to leave it half assed we purchased a new factory 2 wire sensor and replaced the single wire, spliced the new plug into the exesting wires and now we have nothing. No reading at all.
Do these wires have a "posative or negative" that I may have hooked up backwards?
Is there some other explination?
PLEASE HELP..........
