Hi guys,

i have a big problem with my original temp gauge.
1. Does the gauge need a calibration?
2. Does somebody have a pin description? Where is the sensor connected?

I have following problem:
my preowner installed a different temp gauge but i would like to use the original. Now i check the gauge at work and the result is crazy...
I set 10V on the left pin and use a resistance decade with 5k on ground. If i hit the right pin the needle goes to „h“ but don‘t fall back to C. It stays at „middle“. If i hit the upper pin it will fall back to „c“. Is this reaction normal???
And where is the thermistor connected at the dash??
