temperature gauge relay
 

were is the temperature gauge relay on a 80 300D ?

No relay, just a sending unit located at the front of the engine.

I replace both sender on the motor there are 2 senders on the side of the motor next to the glow plugs but the gauge won't read I also not sure if the fan in front is working not seen it kick on the gauge also been replace

the two senders next to the glow plugs are for the glow plugs.
one goes to the glowplug relay, the other to the glowplug light.

the fan is used by the airconditioner unless it has been rewired.
only when the a/c gets hot.

No the only sender on the motor are the one by the glow plugs that it they check out good I was reading that the glow plugs relay has a temp sender made in

The service manual for the 80 300D shows the temperature sensor for the aux fan is used by the AC system. The switch is located on the reciever dryer. The relay for the aux fan is the code 6. It should be located on the driver wheel well in the black box , not 100% sure which one it is. Here is the general location

Both relays will be "icecubes" type relays. One is for the windows and the other is for the aux fan.

Your actual temperature sensor for the guage is the forwad one in the block. Near the glow plugs. Item #76

This is wired directly to the instrument cluster.
