I have a 1996 sunbird Neptune 202 .. boat runs great. this past winter(not here in florida) I decided to do its normal maintenance, ie water pump , lower gear service, plugs, carbs, the usual stuff .. now here is my problem the tach and mph stopped working so I decided it was time to upgrade the gauges, when I removed the dash I fell out on the ground.. the prior owner cut here spliced there .. its a mess and I don't have $85 hr to pay some one to do it so I took the project on my self beings I was a auto tech shouldn't be to hard right ...wrong lol.. I have everything fixed and working but these few things .. any help would be grateful...
1.. trim gauge .. I connect the tan/white wire and it stays up in full position . but worked fine before I corrected the mess. I checked for grounds in wire have none.. changed gauges .. still no luck .. my question is this . the harness that the trim switch and motor use has the standard green/white & blue/white 1 can I use them together on the gauge or can I run a new set of wires to by-pass the factory harness.
2. temp gauge.. my boat was not equipped with one. it has the standard horn in the control throttle ( remote). after much reading I found out why its not working for my .. my sender is a on/off sender not a variable resistor sender like the fuel injected motors ... here are my questions on this .
can or am I able to change the senders to the new kind with tstat change also so I can use a gauge. and how would I make the wire changed ..ie the black/white wire for warning horn .. or can I by-pass it ..
I know I asked a lot and i hope to get the help I been told I would get here from so many people I have asked on other questions..
thanks
