Thread: Flathead dual temp sender-good idea?

Tweet

Temp senders go higher temp with less resistance.
if you run 2 senders of the "regular" value, 180 degF turns into 210F, if you remove one of the senders it reads 180 again.
We have made a few senders as a test with the correct range to split the difference and give the average of the two sides.
Ill run more tests on the new senders this week and report the results.

When I bought the digital gauges for my car I asked the manufacturer if I could put a temp sensor in the trans and one in the motor and use a toggle switch to switch between the 2. I was told no, unless I put in a VERY expensive special low restance switch, because the gauge wouldn't read correctly. I guess paul274854 has found otherwise.
