CRS200 Oil Temp Guage

[1st_petrolhead]

Its stopped working for no apparent reason.

It seems to have power to it as the needle flicks slightly when I turn the ignition on.

No 100% sure but I believe the temp sender in on the passenger side of the dry sump bellhousing. Is this correct (Mav??)

Note had a proper look yet but again if I am correct a way to check is to remove the wire connected to the sender and earth it out. The guage should go to max therefore proving its not the guage.

Suggestions?

I think you are correct Peter, but I'm not 100%.

Try checking the connection to the back of the Tacho, as if that is loose, they'll all stop working.

If you find the sender, just ground the connection and see if the needle moves to full deflection...

To those suggesting the apollo, this is on a 2.3 Dry Sumped duratec... (no apollo fitted)

Sender is on left side of bell tank.
