Let me take a wild guess....your water temp gauge is electrical. You can tap in the wire for the water temp at your gauge cluster (yellow w/ green stripe). Just cut the wire near the cluster plug and connect/solder into that wire coming from engine. Do not leave the cluster wire attach or it will throw a wrong reading!!!!!!
