Grounding and Thermostat - '90SP36
Anybody have an Idea of how hard it is to change thermostat(s)
on a '90 3208 and perhaps a layout of their location? Also, Is there a central grounding point for the dash gauges, and where is it located? Thanks, Chuck Harrison 90 WLSP36 Akron, Ohio |

Grounding and Thermostat - '90SP36
Chuck I changed mine two years ago when I had my rad off to get it
recored. It wasn't hard to do & there is only one in that year 3208 300 Turbo. Looking to the front it is on the right side mid ways up on the engine. You can see it by looking in the curb side engine compartment. It has a hose coming into the top & one out the bottom. I can't help with the dash ground.

No such thing as too much "grounding" for any of the
Birds. Run #10 gauge, THHN or so (Home Depot, Lowes) "stranded," copper wire, direct from battery ground to coach front (I have run one down each side to join at front, and in unique color for visual spotting along the route, but two is probably overkill). The THHN has gasoline and oil-resistant, outer covering in addition to regular insulated covering. Extra coating lasts a few years, which is a few more than the regular, at nominal extra cost. Stranded wire, versus solid, permits better "flexing" over time without breakage. Terminate the ground(s) at a buss-bar or terminal strip (Radio Shack) and label as "12V ground" to avoid any potential confusion with 110V circuitry. "Connect away" to your hearts content; you will see instant improvements.

Connect from engine battery ground?
