The lead wire for the temp gauge broke on my tractor. So, I called Affordable and was sent a new sensor. Turned out the gauge was broken too, so I called to get a gauge to match the sensor. As it would figure, my ignorance came screaming through again, because what I had on it was a mechanical gauge and what I purchased was an electric gauge. I was told that this was what I needed for my tractor and YM380 motor. Ok, so I now have both and have no real idea how it is supposed to be wired in. It came with no instructions and I don't want to kill what I have, so PLEASE HELP.
I purchased temp sender 309-T-A, as it was the "New Style" and my tractor is a 2003 model and that is what the guy on the phone said I needed. On the next phone call, I asked for and ordered what I was told is the gauge that is supposed to work with this sensor. I don't have a part number, but it is the only one listed on their website for the Jinma 200 series tractor, even though it is listed as "Old Style".
Here's where I am going to start speaking about what I know nothing about. I had an engineer neighbor of mine test the gauge for me and it seemed to work. At 100 ohms, it read 100 deg C, at 50 ohms, 90 deg C, at 25 ohms, 50 deg C. The apparent issue is that the sender is showing 225 ohms.
I don't know about you, but I'm lost.
The back of the gauge has a ground wire to the case of the gauge, two posts insulated from the case, and a lead to the bulb. The bulb is self explanatory, but how should the rest be wired in? Should this combination work? Any help would be appreciated GREATLY!!
Thanks!!
