Well the console wiring +12V doesn't cut it. I put a resistor (potentiometer) in place of the head sender and adjusted it to 200 deg mark on my VDO. Stepped on the brake - slight change. Put trans. into reverse (back up light) - also slight change. Turned headlights on - temp went up about 10 degrees. So RM, you are right on. Not that I'll drive this car at night much, but still I don't want the gauges affected by volt. drops. So now I have to run a new +12V wire from my main terminal strip by the battery up to the console. Might as well run wires for another gauge or warning light while I'm at it.
