## 🔌 Function

Displays the temperature reported by its sender so the operator can see the engine's running condition at a glance.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Needle stuck at zero, pinned at full scale, or wandering with no relation to running conditions
-   Reading that will not settle, or jumps as the engine vibrates
-   Condensation, staining or a fogged lens behind the glass
-   Bezel corroded or the case letting water in at the back
-   Illumination failed while the gauge itself still reads

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Check the sender and its wiring before condemning the gauge - a gauge fault and a sender fault look identical from the helm
-   Make sure the earth return at the gauge is clean, since a poor earth reads as an inaccurate gauge
-   Protect the back of the instrument from spray and condensation when the panel goes back together
