I'm starting to think a (still) dirty connection. Car sits for a week, temp gauge skyrockets, car gets driven 4 days in a row, temp gauge moderates but is still high.
I'll clean it better tonight, if Fred provides another temp sensor and I try my spare gauge cluster that should give me an idea. -Curt Date: Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:40:28 -0500 From: Fmiser <fmi...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] High temp, bad sender?

I would be quite surprised if the metal next to the temp sensor was a different temperature than the sensor. So using your IR thermometer you should be able to prove the accuracy of the in-car measurement. > Its a resistance device? I should be able to take a reading > there.

Do you have a parts car? Without a manual that documents the values it becomes a parts swap process. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
