Re: [DML] Water Temp Gauge / Sender / Output

[Martin Gutkowski <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

...because the gauge is powered byt he battery as well as using it to 
generate a reading. The gauge has obviously been designed properly such 
that it makes sure to adjust based on supply voltage.

The actual sensor is a resistor to ground which changes with temperature.
