[Chrysler300] Re: Problem with Temp and Gas Gauge

["gary_r_23" <moparfan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've also been having problems with these two gauges quitting at 
around the same time last year on my 60. First the fuel gauge was 
intermittent, then shortly after that they both quit. In trying to 
debug them yestday, I shorted the temp sender to the battery 
negative hoping to see the gauge spike to full hot. It didn't. Then 
I shorted it to battery positive (briefly) and not only did the temp 
gauge spike to full hot, but to my surprise the fuel gauge also 
began to climb. Somehow these two are connected and I'm real curious 
if someone can enlighten me.
