Fitting my inside/outside thermometer

Seriously is does look like an exhaust; you had me going for a second.

I was under the motor for at least 10 seconds before fitting just to see where the grommet was, if there was an alternative grommetted hole, what it was like and if there was owt hot like a gearbox nearby.

It is all reasonably clear under there unless warm air comes along the tunnel like a draft in the Channel Tunnel from the front end. :laugh:
I was mostly concerned about the sensor surviving life in the open and pinching the delicate little wire. I've got hair thicker than that wire. :laugh:

I've got something similar and ran the wire through the main wiring harness grommet in the top left of the passenger foot well in to the engine bay.
It then goes forward to the underneath of the front cross member where it is protected from damage but will pick up icy temps.

The lead on mine is way too short to do that. I thought it was going to be longer.

Congratulations, very good job

i connect the positive wire in the rear fog connector (unused in my jimny)



when power on the tail light, thermometer light on

And does not use the cigarette lighter

tail light wire is red/yellow.

Nice, neat solution to the connection question.

I have these sockets which is plugged into, the red lamp is their on/off switch.

I saw one of these and wanted one. It came in about 7 days.


First problem was where to fit the exterior sensor that was reasonably nearby and outside but fairly well protected so I opted for under the trans tunnel.

Put the sensor in a zip bag and added some of my favourite kit........Duck tape........... for extra protection.
