How can I check the CJ gauge voltage?
Run an appropriate resistor to the S terminal of the fuel gauge and to ground and check the readings. The temp gauge has the following resistance. A volt meter can be used to measure the voltage between the A terminal of the Temp gauge and ground. It should be pulsing and averaging about 5 volts.
What are the terminals on a CJ gauge?
Fuel gauge S terminal has a pink wire and runs to the fuel sender. Fuel gauge A terminal is the 12V side of the jumper/regulator strap. Fuel gauge I terminal has a red wire and is the 12 V ignition hot wire. Temperature gauge A terminal is the 5V side of the jumper/regulator strap.
Where is the temperature gauge on a CJ gauge?
Temperature gauge A terminal is the 5V side of the jumper/regulator strap. Temperature gauge S terminal has a purple wire and runs from the temperature sender. The jumper/regulator strap runs from a voltage regulator inside the fuel gauge (terminal A) to the temperature gauge (terminal A).
Where is the fuel sending wire on a Jeep CJ?
The fuel sending unit wires are located on top of the gas tank where they are hard to get to without dropping the tank. The fuel sending unit should have a pink wire with voltage on the isolated center post. The other black wire on the sending unit with a tab style connector is a ground to the frame.
How can I Check my Jeep CJ sender?
The sending unit can be checked with an ohmmeter to measure the resistance between the round sender post (pink wire) and ground. It should be: If the resistance falls in this ballpark (depending on how much gas you have in the tank), then the sending unit is fine.
