Subject:adding resister to center 1.9 coolant temp gauge?
From:Paul Guzyk <paullist08@GUZYK.COM>

My 1.9 style dash coolant temp sender died.

I replaced it with a new one.   Now the gauge reads high, about 65%-70% when normal operating temperature instead of 50% (LED dead center) like the old one.

I'm thinking of adding a resister in series with the new temp sensor to get the needle back in the middle.

Anyone seen this before?
What value resister/pot did you add?
