OK, you are working with the correct sender location. How do you know the correct sender is in the location that you grounded? I thought it was sending a temperature, just the wrong one. Which would lead me to believe you are using a sender that is defective or the incorrect sender, or something else is changing or corrupting the signal. How is the wiring from the sender to the gauge? Is it possible that the casing on 2 wires are broken and they are touching?
