Have you checked the connections to the wire? Not trying to insult you, but maybe one of the wires came undone.

No offense taken

Everything on probe looks normal. Was short on time to get to meeting with customer so did not look closely. Will ck after work-just though someone might have been there & done that!

Update - Checked with Rod at Wildcat and Isspro. Apparently not unheard of occurance (when you mis treat it). I need a new probe.

The sensor is very easy to test.

Hook up a volt meter to the two leads at the sensor it should output a small voltage porpotionate to an increase in temperature.If it is outputting a voltage,the problem is in the wiring or the gauge.Hope this helps.Merv

Not detrimental at all-pre turbo is highly recommended by most members. My problem was pilot error; my hand slipped off a wrench and I slapped the probe fairly hard with my wrist. Going to change my user name to M.C. (for mechanically challanged).

That would be better than "limp wrist"

Man I hate when I do something like that, Ole Mr Murphy was working with you that day
