Temperature Sensor Wire

[mj2619]

Hello - A few weeks after I was out in a snow storm all my gauges spiked on my way to work one morning. Not sure if things got wet during that time and shorted something out.
-All gauges maxed out.
-Replaced IVR (thank you forum friends!) - was able to get oil, fuel and amps working.
-Gauge is newer from Tom's about 2 years old.
-Power is going to oil, fuel and Amps but very low reading on temp (I think that is normal?).
-Replaced temp sensor and connected it to existing wire, still no temperature reading.

Question - does anyone know where or what kind of wire to buy to hook up to the sensor all the way to the temperature gauge. Looking for the wire that connects from the temperature sensor into the cab and gauge cluster. I think it's a few wires I need? The plan was to try that before swapping the temperature part of the gauge.

Thank you!

You can test harness wire by removing from temp sensor, and shorting wire to ground.
It should peg the meter to HOT.

Plugs in near throttle linkage at back of engine.

if the gauges are stock amp meter has nothing to do with the other gaughes.if fuel oil is working remove wires from temo gauge and measure the restance of the gauge.should be 10-14 ohms.the wire type is automotive wire.gauge it self may bad.or senser is bad
