My TC-29 has just the idiot light. I know where the temperature switch is up by the thermostat, traced the wire, tested it's function, etc. If you ground out the wire, voila, the light comes on. Thing is, you don't get a 'light check' confirmation when you turn the key like you do for oil pressure. So, who knows if the bulb is burnt out or good?
In central Texas, I'd like to make sure that light is working when it's 110 degrees.
So, my thought is I would circumvent the stupid light and mount a mechanical gauge (somewhere, will think about that next) and watch my own dang temperatures.
Has anyone replaced the temperature switch with a temperature sensor? Looks like an odd-ball fitting size, bigger than what you typically see for a temp sensor. Imagine I'd have to cobble an adapter together.... BUT, if anyone has ever done this, maybe I can save some fabrication time.
ideas????
