So my lc came with no clocks , i managed to snag rev counter off evilbay and wanna test that everything works, the rev counter itself was easy enough , but i was wondering if there was a way to test the temp gauge without having to hook it all up and have a temp sender connected ?

there is no way to test without it being connected to the sender unit as it is part of the circuit i can explain how to do this if you want

AFAIK if you connect the gauge to the loom, turn the ignition on & ground the lead that should connect to the temp sender the gauge should read full/high/in the red. HTH OEB |

oh well, at least theres signs of life, the loom is new, the sender unit is new, the temp guage 31 years old,i have a feeling everything will be sweet.

Thanks for the replies guys, as the loom is in bits for cleaning and rewrapping and the wires had been chooped on the gauge me and a mate i did mechanics with studied the wiring diagram and made up a makeshift mini loom for the gauge , so 2 bits of wire and a 10a fuse  worked a treat if you can't just plug and test |
