Just taken my sender out and it has three cables to the sender part? My universal one only has one any ideas how to connect it

[tractor]

which sender

[Guest Jonnyround2003]

Ford Serra sender

[tractor]

yes but which one fuel or temp i have only seen a temp sender with max two wires so you must be on about fuel sender if it has three wires i would say its live / earth / signal

[Guest Jonnyround2003]

Yes the fuel sender the ford one has three wires the universal one just has one

[Guest Jonnyround2003]

Sorted the issues put new gauge with matching sender job done

The smith gauges should come with a wiring diagram or at least a link to the car http://www.caigauge.com/ Caerbont Auto should still have all the wiring diagrams thats where i got my details from. +ve feed is from the voltage regulator/stabiliser the other point on the gauge is for daisy chaining one gauge to the other continuing the regulated voltage supply along the chain. They are all earthed via the lightbulb connector which makes a huge surface area for earth. Thats the wiring done, then make sure you have the right senders for the relevant gauges (temp and oil maybe fuel).

 

I'm reiterating some info already said which is spot on just covering some bits i needed to know.
