This bring back bad memories of my Yammer's demise about 10 years ago.
Unknown to me then, either or both of these (sensor and gauge) failed or were incapable of measuring temperature without coolant when the coolant was very low. Motoring along my engine died (just slowly quit running as though it was out of fuel). Long story short, the coolant was completely gone and my engine head was cracked from overheating. I am now ~ $10,000 poorer but a fanatic about making sure that my Beta 1005 cc replacement engine is properly cooled and that this proper cooling is reflected on the gauge!

I found that the temperature buzzer sensor screwed directly into the engine but the gauge sensor was teed in at the thermostat where the water hoses left the engine to go to the water heater. I as able to replace the sensor and the gauge with little fanfare. In my case, the sensor had shorted internally, and was pegging the gauge, and when I replaced the sensor, the gauge then wasn't working.

The temp warning buzzer works but the gauge has never worked, although it is in place and wired. The Yanmar manual has a section on testing the buzzer sender unit, but I don't see anything about the location of the sender unit for the gauge or how to test it. Looking for any advice on how to approach diagnosing the problem. Is it the same sender unit for both the buzzer and gauge? I haven't spent the time trying to trace all the wiring but was hoping to find something in the manual first about how the gauge is wired. Thanks in advance for any help.
