i am from Belgium and i have a camaro 68.


i have a prob with the lamp in the dash thats indicate the temperature( dummi lamp)
when the engine is cold and i turn it on afther 5-10 min the dummi lamp go s on. the engine temp is 200-210 farenheit and it stays on that. so evrything normal. its a new radiator new water pump and a new sensor. its strange that the dummi light of the temp go s on after 10min. when i take the cable of the sensor the light goes off. when i put the cable on a negative(engine) the light goes on. is it not an electric prob?


i hope someone can help me. it turns me crasy


thanks and greetz from Belgium.

 

Replace sensor

 

Where is the sensor located? Is it next to the exhaust manifold or on the thermostat housing neck? If on the exhaust manifold GM knew this was a problem and later moved it to the housing. That might be your issue.

I, for one, and doing away with the dummy light all together and using a 3 gauge pod with oil pressure, coolant temp and voltage.
