Hi to the auto electrician on hear I am afraid I am not one .
So today I tried to fix my temp gauge I fitted a new brickwerks sensor in the engine block with finger x but no good.
so I have dismantled the clocks taken the gauge out and put 12 V across it and the needle moves so must be the blue sheet or the wires from the engine bay I guess . is there a way to get the gauge to work with a new wire somehow? Any help from this amazing resource would be great Iam a long time owner but useless when it comes to electric
Many thanks in advance Danny.

Forgot to say all the rest of the clock,s is working fine

you need the wiring diagram say from Syncrosport.com and a cheap meter and the basic knowledge of how to continuity test (see YouTube) and then check the wiring from back to the dashpod on the yellow red wire - if that is good then the issue is the blue foil circuit or the gauge - be careful putting 12v direct across anything you don't understand
Bentley manual has proper testing procedures in it, you can download a copy if you search members only - or you could cos OBG would end you a link, but he's not well so I don't know if we have a solution in place now ?

Thanks for the reply I will do some more research I find van electrics very frustrating.
