More electrical problems

[frank_a]

Thought I had everything figured out, so drove the t tub outside to warm the 406 up and adjust the idle. All my gauges worked just fine, with two exceptions - water temp and trans temp. And my fan switch would not work. So I let it idle a while, then got nervous and turned it off. Back in the garage now till I figure this stuff out. Sure wish I had another gear head around to help...

Even with a door, it's still tough for me to get in and out. Age has not treated me well.

Frank, did you use thread sealer or Teflon tape when screwing in the temp sensors? These sensors need a good ground which they get from the surrounding metal they are screwed into. Since they are NPT (pipe thread), they don’t need sealer.

Good idea Lee. Will check in the a.m. Thanks.
