Awesome video! Just bought an 1987 pickup and I’m having the same issue

thank you. i've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my water temp gauge doesn't work. the factory wiring diagram is difficult to read and i didn't pick up on the fact that both gauges are tied together like that. i will now zero in on the fuel gauge as the culprit

I forgot to mention about my Nissan truck it's a 4 cylinder 2.4 L4 87 is the year

I have a Nissan truck 1987 there is a black wire that was not connected I grounded it and my temp gauge goes to hot so does the truck have to run and warm up before my gauge goes back to normal reading

I honestly would not know James, that was a long time ago, I'm not a professional car mechanic, and my truck is a Toyota, so it may work differently. Let me know if you figure it out.
