Hi all, I haven't surfaced for a while as the project has been on hold. Getting married, buying a house and having a kid will do that. But I haven't given up my dream build of the 1200 ute.
I am asking anyone's advice and help? I have a 'Pricol' electrical Oil Temp Gauge that is installed and working fine. I just went to install a 'Speco' electrical Water Temp Gauge and the power wire burnt up. I have moved the earth wire to two different spots and that didn't solve the problem. I disconnected the sender wire and the problem still occurred. I installed a fuse in the power wire and it blew immediately as I turned the key to Ignition. I sourced the power from the other working gauge and so they both run from the same power wire. However the wire to the 'Speco' gauge still burns through. Any Suggestion?

bru cant really help u, but good to hear ur still keen on the dream,

sounds as if the gauge may be defective ...

i agree with dd, seems weird the are both sourcing power from the same place and the other guage is working fine

Yep, gauge was defective. Replaced it today and all working fine. Thanks for the help.
