[QUOTE]Originally posted by 9svt8': [QB] So I just got 2 autometer electrical gauges for my 98 cobra (oil pressure & water temp), I have never installed gauges before so I'm not exactly sure where to hook it up to. I have heard there is a port near the oil filter to put a sensor and hook up the gauge. Is this true? I havnt had time to take a look yet and I thought someone here might be able to tell me.

Water temp is on the front of the lower intake on the drivers side. <br /><br />Just take ground to one side of the gauge/light, Switched 12v to the other, and grab a parking light wire for illumination. If memory serves me correct it is a brown wire in the lower drivers side kick panel. Run new wires from the sending units to the gauges. Done. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Camara90</b> <br /><small>Member # 134</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,3,4,22,13,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> sorry just realized you dont have a fox. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>COPFITY</b> <br /><small>Member # 1845</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,3,4,23,34,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i think when u run aftermarket electrical you gotta use their sensors/senders.. i've only used mechanical. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Camara90</b> <br /><small>Member # 134</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,3,4,23,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by COPFITY:<br /><strong> i think when u run aftermarket electrical you gotta use their sensors/senders.. i've only used mechanical. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yes you do. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>9svt8'</b> <br /><small>Member # 11410</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2012,3,5,1,2,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Okay thanks <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
