Hey LBC owners,
About a month ago I posted about my TR6 overheating. Over the last few weeks I've been messing with the car. Heres what happened if you don't remember. I was driving home and it started to look like it was overheating on the gauge. Since then I've replaced the thermostat, sending unit, and temp. gauge. The replacement gauge is reading the same as the one I took out. After many times of warming the car up and taking it on a few drives I've measured how hot the fluid in the radiator was. I haven't got a reading over 160 degrees yet. I'm starting to think that it has to be something in the wiring loom that has either been cut or stripped. No Idea what could be wrong. Any ideas? Could my voltage stabilizer on the back of my speedo have gone bad? I've looked under the dash and everything seems to be hooked up properly. I don't really have anymore ideas except to make a new wire to run from the fuse block to my speedo and then to the temp. gauge. good or bad idea? I know that the temp. and fuel gauge are hooked up through the voltage stabilizer and my fuel gauge seems to be pretty close to right. Any ideas on what to do next?
