Why do you need a water temp gauge in your car?
A Water Temperature Gauge allows you to monitor your vehicle’s engine coolant temperature to ensure it does not overheat, potentially causing major engine damage. Your vehicle’s coolant system is designed to keep the engine at a constant temperature.

How does the Yazaki water temperature gauge work?
Old Yazaki water temperature gauge, operated via a capillary tube rather than an electrical circuit. The sensing bulb is screwed into one of the engines water passages and as the engine heats up, the fluid in the bulb and the tube expands and causes the needle to move. The mechanical water gauge is operated on the Bourdon tube principle.
How do you hook up a temperature gauge?
Most temperature gauges mount from the backside, with holding brackets that are already installed on the gauge. Fit the gauge in the hole to size it, then remove it. Detach the small gauge bracket with a socket if it doesn’t fit initially.

How can I tell if my light gauge is hot?
Check the gauge if the needle moves toward “Hot”, the wire from the gauge to the sending unit has an open or bad connection. If it does not move, connect a test light by grounding one end to a good known ground and the other end to positive side of the gauge (typically a pink wire).
