how to put water temp gauge in 7.3 powerstroke

• 2022-11-05

The 7.3 powerstroke 12V or 24V electronic water temp gauge is put to the key, and then the sensing plug is connected to the water channel. External water temperature gauge set, with instrument, harness, sensor and other accessories. The body of the water temperature gauge is self luminous on a white background, which is suitable for observing water temperature at night.

There are four lines in total, one of which is a three line instrument. The focus is on the four line instrument. The four lines are red (open key 12V), black (ground wire), blue (signal line), and white (power is available when the small light is turned on). The three line instrument is short of white lighting line.

The 7.3 powerstroke engine water temp gauge is used to indicate the temperature of the engine coolant. The coolant temperature signal is provided by the engine coolant temperature sensor installed on the engine cylinder head. When the engine works normally, the displayed value should be 80-100 ℃. When the 7.3 powerstroke engine coolant temperature reaches 97 ℃, the cooling fan runs at low speed. When the 7.3 powerstroke engine coolant temperature is lower than 94 ℃, the cooling fan stops running. When the 7.3 powerstroke engine coolant temperature is higher than 105 ℃, the cooling fan runs at high speed. When the 7.3 powerstroke engine coolant temperature is lower than 101 ℃, the cooling fan stops running.

In the morning, there are two possibilities for the ignition vehicle water temperature gauge to light up. One is that there is less antifreeze, and the water level and pressure in the cooling state are low, so there will be a fault light. The other is that the sensor is faulty, and the response is slow. Until there is no big floating, it is always in a non working state.

This normal cold car will exist when it starts. It will disappear when the car is hot. You can read your vehicle's user manual. The normal operation of an automobile engine requires a certain operating temperature. Too high or too low is not conducive to the normal operation and performance of the engine. On the other hand, the heat generated by the engine's operation is difficult to meet the needs of conventional air cooling. Therefore, the design of water-cooled heat conduction is widely used in automobile engines.
