Has anyone else had issues with the gauge displaying temperatures approx. twice what they're supposed to be? Have checked/rechecked all wiring.

If sender location and wiring is correct, you may have a faulty sending unit or gauge. You can check by running the vehicle up to operating temp. and mounting a thermometer flat on bottom of transmission pan. If that reading is way less than what gauge says I would bet sender is malfunctioning. w. maples

generally, thermostat set too high ,above180try turning the stat down.hope this helps.

Hello! That was the same reason I replaced mine- it worked fine, but the buttons were wearing out. I looked in the service manual and is says that it needs to be programmed, but I installed it and it seems to work fine without any programming. As a side benefit, my vehicle already shows the external temp in the DIC above the gauges, so it does not display it on the HVAC module screen from the factory. After replacing the factory module with the one I bought here, the external temp now shows on the HVAC screen (and still in the DIC). I kinda like it! I suspect that if I were to program the module, it would turn off the feature. Anyways- in my case it worked fine out of the box! Hello!

If the unit is still running after it has met the desired temp that it has been set to then you may need to exchange the unit. I would call technical support for further details for troubleshooting options.

I have two of these and they are off by more than 10 degrees. I contacted Honeywell about it and they said that there's no way to calibrate it, so take them back and replace them. The replacements are just as bad as the originals, so I am switching to another brand.

Are you sure you wired it correctly? Maybe you mixed up the heating circuit with the cooling circuit? If that's not it, I'd get a new one. Why take a chance?

I wanna say check wire diagram , look for wire labeled "park" (or similar). I will look into this issue for ya, if not resolved already.

Thanks for your response. I was having trouble picking up the temp from the base. I think the batteries were low (duh.. pretty obvious..). I put in new batteries on both units, repeated the sequence a couple of times and... voilà! I think I've got the hang of it now. A handy little device.

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

Bad connection?? I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now. If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.

Mine is doing the same thing. It states the max temp is 190, so setting it at the max should be safe and it operate normally. Has anyone else set there's at the max and it works fine? thanks

Yes, I measured the temp. and it is not at all near that range. That's why I sent mine back!

That is absolutely a faulty warmer, I'd get a functional replacement ASAP. Mine exhibits none of those characteristics when switched on.

No, it's broken, check to see if there are leaks. If no leaks, remove the gauge and have it checked or zero-ed out.

I am not familiar with that reading. My unit has worked like a charm. I would suggest that you go to the vendor's website. Maybe someone else has experienced something similar. Good luck!

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

I can think of only two possibilities here: 1. The wiring is not correct (or there is somehow a short across the temperature sensor/relay), or 2. The fan is set to ON instead of AUTO. Wiring is the culprit in a high percentage of this kind of problem, but it is possible that the thermostat's circuit board could be defective.
