I love my Simpson 260. Do you have the new one with the circuit breaker and
off position on the selector dial? Mine is the older one with neither.

Appreciate the many responses.
I've had a Simpson 260 since the '70's, and bought an auto-ranging digital
meter from Sears several years ago.
Yes, I could pull the temp sensor and stick it in a pot of boiling water,
etc, etc, but I want to avoid another potential repair as the sensor looks
rusted in place.
Did not realize a non-contact thermal sensor was that cheap. Will stop at
Harbor Freight on the way home.
That said, the water temp and gas gauges are wired incorrectly. PO ran 12v
directly to the gauges, bypassing the instrument voltage regulator. The
gauges and senders may be fine, but they're both reading high to pegged,
probably because they're getting full 12v instead of through the instrument
VR.
The instrument cluster in my lap would be a whole lot easier than laying
on my back reaching into a space sized for a 12yo girl. Will try Mike's
suggestion of removing the tach to access the temp gauge wires, and the
glove
box to access the gas gauge.
Will keep y'all posted.
