Temperature sender wire

So, since getting my 998 in August the only concern I’ve really had is operating temp. I’ve read everything I can on the matter and have replaced pretty much everything and with a laser thermometer it runs nice and cool but guage (new) shows 230+ once warmed up.

I have it in the garage to redo a bunch of things and wanted to run a fresh wire from guage to sender. As I looked real close yesterday, the current wire has been spliced together. I’m assuming that’d mess up the resistance and in itself give me false reading.

Looking thru the TMs I cannot find the wire number which I need to replace from the guage to the sensor. There is no metal tag on the spliced wire.

any help is greatly appreciated from those who’ve done this.

I found this list of circuit numbers while I was cleaning up my wiring following a hi beam indicator replacement.
I looked up all the numbers from the dash connectors and sure enough...the numbers matched. Leave it to the military to have a uniform numbering system.

Anyway...the wire from the temp sender to the gauge will be a 33. I think mine was 33A. The power feeds to the instruments will be a 27. You should see 27A, 27B, 27C...they are each a common power feed to the instruments

thank you for that. Hopefully this issue is behind me.
