Temperature gauge/ Electrical issues February 15, 2025, 10:43:12 AM Hi all!New to this site. I own a Lhassa green Mk1 Gti but am currently restoring a Mk2 2.0L Driver for the mrs. Its got a few electrical gremlins I'm hoping someone may be able to help with? Firstly the CE2 version (1992). The temperature gauge only works when I turn the headlights on??!!. Also I can not get the horn to work. Ive changed the X relay, the temp senders etc. Also the rad fan is very intermittent, it will come on then go straight off after 3 secs or so. Anyone experienced similar issues? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks, Dom
Re: Temperature gauge/ Electrical issues Reply #1 – February 15, 2025, 03:39:11 PM Don't know about most of your problems but does the horn contact on the back of the steering wheel making contact via the wheel slip ring? I presume you have checked the horn does operate if you attach a live feed.

Re: Temperature gauge/ Electrical issues Reply #3 – February 20, 2025, 11:56:42 AM Your only option is to use the wiring diagram from the Haynes manual and check all the connections for faults using a multi meter. I would be checking for obvious signs of corrosion, for example at the main connection for the fan, as they tend to get corroded with age, and broken wires.
