^^^ Thats on the high side. Check your coolant and and make sure your radiator isn't too beat-up or covered in "bug juice".

sorry, I meant electric (vs mechanical) not electronic. It is wired to the cigarette lighter for power and has a thermocouple insert on the lower radiator hose - the part where it runs underneath the overflow reservoir.
Air sounds like a likely culprit Mr. Jim, as the voltage seems stable when I measure it and wiggle the wires.
correction: I have the Cravenspeed hotlink, not the M7 hose coupling.
Oh, wait... the cravenspeed instructions show the hotlink located on the upper rad hose, not the lower one.
OK that might be the problem:lol: Thanks for walking me through it. -
Update on the Hotlink install??
Installing on that lower hose would put you on the wrong side of the thermostat housing, that is why it would come to life in traffic when the thermostat opens. At least you know that is working properly.
