I had a problem with my electrical temp gauge.
It worked fine off the original sensor, but if I tried to have both gauges connected at the same time, neither of them read correctly. But they both worked fine if connected individually.
Obviously, having both connected to the same sensor changes the electrical load which is what causes them to read incorrectly.
Does anyone know a way I can run both temp gauges off a single sensor without having this problem?
