[doc] Re: Instrument Panel Says Im Overheating

The temp gauge and the fans are controlled by two independent
sensors.

My own car reported temperature problems due to a wide variety of
electrical gremlins, together with *genuine* overheat trouble. You
should be able to tell if your engine is getting that hot simply by
opening the engine cover, but I bought a non-contact laser
thermometer as a sanity check ~£20 from Maplins.

If the temp gauge is not grounding correctly all sorts interesting
things happen. Try switching your ignition to position 2 without
starting the car. Then turn on your lights, if the gauge ground is
loose/missing your temperature indicator will raise in response to
almost any electrical load.

The ground point for the gauges is behind the radio (on the right
hand side usually), I uploaded simple images to the `files' sections
some time ago, look in the `electrical' folder.

In my experience with `Boeing' many of the faults are often
electrical connections which need cleaning, I wonder if Pilot25 has
an updated wiring loom, I suspect not. I still have wires which don't
go anywhere and don't appear on the diagrams! What do you have in the
fan fail relay?
