Re: Temp sender wire voltage?

The gauge is powered on the other side from the green wire. The green wire is actually a ground wire run through the sending unit which acts like a variable resister. The hotter the sending unit gets, the lower the resistance. The less resistance, the higher the gauge reads. Bypassing the sending unit by grounding the wire should peg the gauge to hot.
