[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2965, member: 82"] The gauges don't move at all, they are sitting on my bench in the shed :) There was an engine bay fire in this machine which proceeded to eat the wiring harness up. The connector under the seat was in a bad way (the fire didn't get this far), some were broken off and some were hard wired in. I just yanked the whole lot out and removed all the gauges and switches and i will start from scratch. I went to clean the gauges by removing the covers and get the dust out of them, the volt meter does work but the other 2 have open curcuit coils, you can see corrosion on the windings too. I got prices on the gauges from Bobcat, they were pretty good actually. I'm going to go for an aftermarket gauge as the temperature gauge shows the temperature in degrees which is what i'd rather. The gague and sender unit is the same as just the gauge from Bobcat. The fuel gauge and sender unit is the same as just the gauge from Bobcat too, i don't know what the sender is like so i'm going to replace this too then i know its all working correctly. If i knew the sender was ok without any dead spots in the coil, i'd just get the gauge from Bobcat. I just need to wait for my gauges and i can start wiring it up. I really want my temperature gauge on before i give it a good run, i don't want to crack the head from over heating it. I'm itching to throw a bucket on and take it for a drive and do some digging.
