Theory operation of temp gauges?

In: Classic 1964-1978 Ford Mustangs [Edit categories]

Answer:

System voltage is applied to the temperature sensor, which is a variable resistor that limits more or less system voltage to pass based on engine coolant temperature. The temperature guage needle then moves accordingly to the varying input voltage sent to it from the sensor.
