  2. Place a 19-ohm resistance between same studs. Gauge pointer should position itself between dots at "HOT" level. Remove resistance.
  3. If pointer lies between calibration dots, check temperature sender. If pointer lies outside upper or lower calibration dots, replace temperature gauge assembly.
