Engine Alarm on a 90SP36

[Wilhelmus Schreurs]

Michael:

Something I have learned recently while checking a number of my gauges.

If the gaugegoes to "0", then you more than likely have a grounded wire, so in this case intermittent ground, check the wirefrom senderand up around the engine.

If the gauge goes hard right, then it is an open wire.

BUT, in both cases if the wires look good, it could possibly be the sender.

Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Engine Alarm on a 90SP36

This question is from my friend on the road. He purchased a 1990 SP36
and is on his first trip. The tranny temp gauge keeps going to zero
then back to 215 so we don't trust it. But the real issue is the
Engine Alarm keeps going off when the engine temp hits 185. Can this
be adjusted? Seems pretty low to be sending off an alarm isn't it?
He's running the 300 HP CAT 3208 from Arizona to California with
outside temps at 112 degrees.
