Oil temperature gauge

14platoon · Apr 15, 2017

Hello all
Defender 90 1992 ex MOD
My oil temperature gauge doesn't move, any ideas?
Can someone show or explain to me where the sensor is?

Cheers

What engine is in it?

Find the sender and connect the cable to earth, it should move the needle a bit

It'll be on the oil filter housing along with the oil light sender.
Do what Pete says and have the ignition switch to run.

Thanks, I'll have another look. I found the oil light sender, I didn't see anything immediately obvious for the temperature gauge?

I didn't find another wire on the oil filter housing so Still looking for the oil temperature gauge sensor. Didn't have much luck tracing the wires from the rear of the dash gauge.
Can anyone ID the white wire at the lower centre of this photo?

That cerainly looks like the fuel solenoid on the pump.
Start her up and pull it off, and if the engine stops, that's what it is

The temp sender could be blanked off as it's adjacent to the pressure switch.
