    As the title suggests, I have no installed jumper from the fuel gauge to my temp gauge behind the cluster. In my FSM is says I can make one from 14g wire, I rememer some where on here Tim was saying the Temp gauge was 6v? Was that on an earlier model? Or can I just make on with some 14g wire and we should be OK?

    Thanks for the help, I have no current Temp gauge. With spring on the way I know I NEED one working.

    both the fuel and temp guages are 6 volt gauges. there is a voltage regulator in the fuel gauge to drop the 12 to 6 for both gauges, the jumper is carrying that 6v to the temp from the fuel. a wire would do the same thing just fine. if you want a jumper, I may have a few laying around.

    Thanks for the help! I wanted to be sure I was OK to install the jumper and see if the temp gauge would work.
