My temp gauge doesn't work, so after some research on the board I buy a new sending unit and thermostat just because. I open up the hood and think I see the place to plug in the sending unit drivers side back close to the fire wall but there isn't anything plugged into it. I search around and cant find the plug or burnt or cut wire anywhere?

Could someone please take a pic of the sending unit plugged and unplugged so I can try to trace where this wire should be?


Thanks,


Manny

What year is your XJ? If there's no spot for the sending unit on the T-stat housing, you should have a 1/8 inch threaded hole located on the head (by the firewall, drivers side).

Look to see if they have a plug in it.

I don't know if it's the same for you because you didn't say what year and what engine you have. This is an '88 Cherokee with a 4.0 l. It's the same on my '90 but harder to see

Man I don't know what I was thinking. Lol!

Problem solved. I have a 96 and the sending unit is is the thermostat housing up front. The plug for the gauge is on the back drivers side. The connection was sucked up in some wires.

I appreciate the help guys! Still learning this bad boy. The previous owner has done wonders with wiring. It's like a snakes nest.
