The dealership was doing some work on my car, fixing the AC unit to be exact, and SOMEHOW they decided to take apart my gauges on the a-pillar. The mechanic pulled the wires out of the back of my EGT gauge and the clip is still in the rear of the gauge. I was hoping that someone could still have the diagram so I can show the mechanic where the wires need to go into the gauges.

Thanks a lot; I swear that the dealers can’t do a thing right some times.

 

you should charge him hourly for every hour your car isnt how it was excluding the AC unit

 

does this help?

 

it would help him but he also needs the gage pin arrnagement. email DEFI and ask.. or have dealer buy new wire.

 

I have my defi d egt gauge still in its unopened box, i can probably scan the diagram for you. pm me.

 

Thanks guys, I told the dealer that I want them to fix the gauge...they tried to re-wire it but it ticks from 19 to 20...he turned around and told me that he was going to charge me for the AC unit then because the gauges would have voided my warranty. I almost went off on him, but I guess he had a point. Just not a dealer I'm taking my car to again I guess. Thanks for the help guys, it’s actually the wires going into the clips shown above, he managed to pull the wires from the plastic clip completely.

 

sounds more like he tried to rather than "managed" to

I think he did it on purpose especially since you went back and he gave you trouble about it

 

How in the world do I get my EGT sensor to lock on the 1/8 fitting..??

 

bump

 

how do gauges void the warranty? what a bunch of crap! i don't even understand why he would have to touch the gauges in the a-pillar to work on the AC.

 

how does the a-pillar have anything to do with the ac any way? well i hope you get everything fixed RIGHT

 

I think this is an example of Satan doing the backstroke...

- Owner instals EGT gauge.
- Owner takes car in for warranty work on A/C sometime later.
- Satan says it's no problem and will honor the warranty claim.
- Satan botches up the A/C job and doesn't pay attention to the gauge wiring location, damaging the wires.
- Owner says "fix it."
- Satan doesn't know how to fix it, realizes he's in a pinch, doesn't want to look stupid since it's only a couple of simple wires, threatens owner saying that gauge is the root of the problem with his A/C and now he must pay for what was promised to be warranty work just a few days earlier.


Some warranty work can be understandably be denied when you look at aftermarket modifications. I wouldn't try to get work done on my engine after I did a flash, a boost controler, an exhaust, cams, or forged internals. However, to say that an EGT gauge caused your A/C to go bad is really strange. Unless the routing for your probe interfered with your A/C lines or something, I don't see this being possible. If it did, you shouldn't have ever try to get it warrantied in the first place.

More info needed, and I think TTIWWP.
