Please check below fox body mustang water temp gauge install steps:

1.Find the water supply pipe, which is generally 28mm, which is obvious in the carriage. Cut the opening at the appropriate position as close as possible but not more than the length of the tee.
2.Install the tee into the water supply pipe and tighten it with the lock catch. Screw the sensing head on the small opening and apply sealant to the gap.
3.Thread the wire of the fox body mustang water temp gauge from the left part of the driver's seat to the engine compartment and connect it with the sensor.

After installing a fox body mustang water temp gauge, you can observe the working state of the machine at any time. If the temperature reaches 98 or 99 degrees and the electronic fan does not start, then turn off the engine and open the cover of the machine to have a rest. In summer, it is best not to turn on the air conditioner for a long time, which is bad for cars and people. If it doesn't look beautiful enough, you can also add turbine pressure gauge, tachometer, etc. anyway, the more meters, the higher the level .

There are generally two water temp sensors. One is the sensor of the water temperature gauge, which is used to display the temperature of cooling water (or coolant) on the water temperature gauge and adjust the oil supply during startup. The other is the sensor of cooling water or coolant, which is two-wire. The sensor of coolant is used to regulate the electronic fan. When the temperature is high, the electronic fan will work.

When the water temperature sensor fails, the temperature signal of the hot car is often displayed when the cold car is started. The ECU cannot get the correct signal and can only supply the thinner mixture of the engine. Therefore, it is difficult to start the engine when it is cold, and it will be accompanied by unstable idle running and insufficient acceleration power.

The sensor used for the water supply thermometer is 12V, while the sensor used for the engine control unit is 5V, so they are not interchangeable. Besides, their plugs are different in shape. It is very simple to distinguish them. The plug of the former has only one wire, while the plug for the engine control unit has two wires. Don't make a mistake.
