Of course search is down........ I have an Autometer trans temp gauge that worked before and I moved the sender and now it doesn't work. I had the sender in the pressure test port on the 4l60e, read high so I decided I'd put the sender in-line with my transmission cooler. So I lengthened the wire to the new sender location and now no workie. I re-did my terminal connection at the sender and the joint where I lengthened the wire to eliminate connection issues. I used a plumbing fitting for the sender, put barbs on the ends. I read the Autometer instruction sheet and it said "sender should automatically ground, if not make provisions for grounding it." Real specific stuff. :eyes: I thought about screwing it out and putting a ring connect between the sender and the fitting and then running a ground. Didn't wanna bother til I got some opinions.

Right now, it has no ground. When it was in the transmission case, it was grounding through that. You should just be able to ground it exactly how you proposed.
