Andy, No, you would not have any probs running a wire from the sending unit to the steering column. However, all you probably need to replace is where the wire goes from the 'electrical bundle' that is located on the passenger side engine compartment. I would try that first. I doubt that there is anything wrong with the wiring between the column and the relay compartment. Hope this helps, Duke www.geocities.com/at88mph_1999 ----- Original Message ----- From: <Soma576@xxxx> To: <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2001 10:13 AM Subject: [DML] temp gauge wiring > Hey all, > > in theory, if i were to have wiring problems in the engine compartment for my > temperature gauge, and i were to connect an extra piece of wire from the temp > sending unit to the 4-spade harness underneath the steering column where the > wire goes into the dash, would that work?
