A light or alarm sensor is a switch that is open or closed. A sensor for a gauge is a variable resistor. You will likely need another sensor for a gauge or a combo sensor with both terminals.

Can it be as simple as attaching to the sender unit that goes to the idiot light on the control panel? When a panel alarm goes off I usually shut down the engine immediately and forget to check which lamp was lit. Would be nice to have a temp gauge for reference. I do have an oil pressure gauge and would love to have both Thanks Mike Persistence Haliofax
