1jz temp fix didnt work? wth
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=236548
ok so that thread shows what wires to ground so i know i grounded the right one. it didnt fix the temp gauge.
when i looked the pin that the brown wire is in does not line up to any wire on the 1jz body plug.
is this normal? shouldnt there be a wire in the body plug on the motor side to match up with the new fancy ground i just added?
im so confused.

If you have a 95 i doubt the wire is brown.I m not 100% positive since i never owned one .What i do know is that on the 92 and 97 the colors are different. Make sure you find the right wire on the 1j harness.I never heard of the harness missing and i did at least 4 swaps.

i will check into it tomorrow. so i should be able to ground pin 24 on the 1j harness and it will work? even if it dosent line up on the body side?
makes me wonder why the write up fix would have you ground on the body side rather than just ground the 1j harness....
i will take pics of what i find tomorrow.
thanks for the help.

update:
so while driving home tonight the gauge worked for a couple seconds then stopped again. weird.
i beat on the dash some by the gauge cluster to see if maybe it was something loose there that randomly connected to make it work. no change.
im pretty sure my ground is not the issue. i used a crimp terminal and attached it to the stud/nut that holds the ecu in its stock location. a couple days ago i even tried a different ground and it still didnt work.
where is the sending unit on the motor? maybe the connector is loose or something. it was raining out tonight, maybe the water completed the circuit of a loose connector for a sec or two.
yay gremlins!

well mine stays at C. when it worked for a few sec it jumped up to normal operating temp.... then fell back to C.
im starting to think maybe the sensor or the cluster wire is loose or something.
where is the temp gauge sensor on the motor?
