    temp gauge ground

    I apparently can't find this with a search, I know the info is here but my search just sucks... What's the easiest way to find the ground wire for the temp sensor to gauge? Mine goes straight to the top within a short period after driving. Thanks!

    There are two wires in the engine bay fuse box, ones brown and ones white/black. CG and SG I think. Anyway it's one of those. I twist them together and earth them on a ring connector.

    It's the W/B one, just connect that one to ground. Chassis grounds and signal grounds should not be joined together or it defeats the purpose of a signal ground.

    Just run the W/B wire in the engine bay fusebox to ground.
