I believe I plumbed it correctly it was fairly easy to do. What do you consider correctly? I'm picking up a multimeter from work today and I'll shoot the wires tomorrow. I took a day off from the jeep today since I've been non stop almost everyday for the last couple weeks. Do you know what it's supposed to be reading?

So guys i purchased an oem temp sensor installed it very carefully today and purged the system of air. Started the jeep and the temp gauge isn't moving at all I have no idea where to go from here I went front one side of the spectrum to the other. I picked up a multimeter from work today. What's should the resistance being around when I shoot the pigtail and the actual sensor itself? All my other gauges appear to be operating normal and when I put the car into accessory the temp gaugeas far left as it can go and stays there. When I turn the jeep off it moves very very slightly right but doesn't even break the first hash mark. I am so stumped with this guy's. I'm about to buy an aftermarket temp gauge and bypass their stupid stock temore gauge. Please help me out guys!

The gauge likes to jump sporadically back and fourth but seems to go to the correct temp once it stops... any ideas what would cause this?

I also purchased a obd2 scanner the links to my phone to monitor engine Temps from the computer.
