    mga sirs,

    kahapon nagpa install ako ng Indiglo Gauge, sabi nung nag install eh maselan daw toh pero he installed din naman. Then nung try ko, ayus naman lahat. Pero kaninang umagah napansin ko Yung Temp. Guage is not working properly kasi kahit patay yung engine ko eh nakataas pa rin siya, so binalik ko kanina, binaklas ulit then bumaba yung temp. gauge, tapos nung kinabit eh test drive ko, hindi na siya tumaas.....sabi nung nag install eh obserbahan ko muna daw, pati yung fuel gauge eh im not sure kung working, obserbahan ko pa din.

    Pero yung temp. gauge definitely im sure na may problem yun kasi tagal ko na naka aircon at umaandar eh di talaga tumataas.


    Any advise mga sir kung anu naging problem nito and kung anu yung remedy???

    Im driving a Honda City 98 model. Advise naman po mga sir.

    Pero definitely ibabalik ko toh kasi yung dalawang importanteng gauges pa yung di gumana.

    Take the gauge cluster out, make sure all wire connection are properly connected. if not, check the fuse make sure its not burned out.

    update lang po, yung FUEL GAUGE is working po. Nag lagay kasi ako ng gas eh tumaas naman ciya. So ang not working is yung TEMP. GAUGE, di ciya talagah gumagalaw, nasa baba lang yung needle niya. Anu kaya po ang naging problem nito, hesitant na ko ibalik sa pinagkabitan ng INDIGLO kasi mukhang hindi marunong sa sasaakyan, sabi ba naman sakin eh tataas naman daw yung pag nag overheat, eh bobo ba ciah ang normal nun dapat before mag kalahati lalo pag tumatakbo nah.


    Any advise mga sir and meron ba tyo relaible shop foe this? Bulakan area sana or kahit manila.

    Check the following:

    The sending unit maybe bad.
    Coolant temperature sensor maybe bad
    Wire disconnected, or extremely low coolant in system.

    sir,

    tingin ko yung sensor ayus naman pero i'll check it na rin. Kasi before ko pakabit yung INDIGLO eh OK naman yung temp. gauge.

    tingin ko either sa wiring or dun sa sinasabi mong sending unit, san po bah location nung sending unit? Tsaka sir kasi nung kinakabit yung INDIGLO eh nagagalaw yung needle pero at first, ok naman yung temp. gauge pero kinabukasan eh ayun, wala nah, di na gumalaw.

    Worst case scenario ba nito eh magpalit ako ng whole panel gauges? magkano po kaya surplues nito if ever?

    Temperature Sensors, that is, the unit for the computer, are most often near or on the Thermostat housing on modern cars. Most Senders on the other hand, which are for the gauge or idiot light, are more often in the cylinder head, on the side of the engine, in between some of the Exhaust ports. The Oil Pressure sender is usually either at the top of the back of the engine block, or on or near the oil filter adapter.
    Have you check your coolant temp sennsor is probably disconnected or the instrument panel or the fuse gone bad.

    pa check mo ulit baka naninikit lang yun indiglo laminate sa needles ng gauges mo nangyari na din sakin yan makapal din kasi yun indiglo and nawawala yun clearance ng needles para gumalaw sya. pwede naman ibalik yun needles na hindi sagad para gumalaw pa sya. minsan kun mumurahin na taiwan hindi swak yun butas nun indiglo or minsan warped din sya kaya may contact sa needles. yun indiglo kasi naka tap lang naman sa wiring ng parklights mo yan at hindi sa wiring ng gauges
