Save yourself future headaches and just butt crimp them together.
WWWHHHYYY DDDOOOEEESSS ANYONE NEED TERMINALS THERE????
I quit popping my engine in and out every season for a spring cleaning so no longer need disconnects on the harness.
*** WWWWHHHYYYY DOES AAANNNYYYOOONNNEEE STILL HAVE GUMMY BEAR PLUGS ON THEIR HARNESS?!?!? ***
Ok, that rant over - HIGH RESISTANCE at the gummy bear IS NOT the cause.
High resistance on the S wire causes a LOW temp gauge reading. Grounding the S wire (zero resistance) causes the gauge to pin high.
PERHAPS the plug is “leaking” over to the harness ground ???? I’ve never seen that happen or confirmed it, but the gauge is DEFO not reading high from high resistance!!
IIWMG, I’d check it per the troubleshooting guide I posted on the wiki, AND IIWMTS verify its resistance at two temps.
@ 70 deg it should be **about** 700 ohms and at boiling it should be **about** ohms.
ALSO the gauge is accurate to **about** +/- 15 degrees.
