ok guys. This is my first z car (other than my g35 if that counts). I bought it two weeks ago and the temp gauge was not working AT ALL. so the first thing i did was buy a new sending unit.. that didnt fix it.. i noticed that the plug was all fubar so i cut it and put on one of those speaker wire connector things so i knew it got a good connection... STILL no luck.. So i figured it was the GAUGE cluster.. I go and buy another one from a local Z guy.. put it in.. NO LUCK. I cant figure out whats goin on. I took some speaker wire and ran it DIRECTLY from the sensor TO the gauge cluster.. STILL NOTHING. I am assuming this is a GROUNDED signal that it sends to the cluster.. so just for shits and giggles i ran the wire from the NEGATIVE battery terminal straight to where the wire goes into the gauge. NOTHING what am i doing wrong here... I wouldnt think there is a fuse that could be blown and that be the reason since its a grounded signal. although i COULDNT check my fuses in-cab cause a previous owner pulled the cover and didnt put it back
