Fault on temperature gauge.

The temperature gauge in the clocks housing goes straight up to 2/3rd's and then creeps up to 7/8th's over the course of a couple of mins so I've ordered a new sender but it was okay before the new loom and dash went in. Also the red temperature warning led flashes constantly as soon as the ignition is switched on.
Any thoughts folks?

Flashing red when engine running is also a warning for the low water level in the expansion tank, not just over heating. Check the wiring and sender (and water level!)

Guessing that means the old loom has a resistor buried in it somewhere or a connector with a resistor in it?

The Blue/red goes from the large flat plug that plugs into the clocks housing and the other end is in to a blue square fuse board plug.

If you edit your details you can put the info in your signature like engine code etc so you don't have to say what engine etc you have every time you post and stops any confusion.

This all came about when I tried to remove an alarm and the loom started to fall to pieces so I was forced to change it.

shorting the pins also works fine for CE1, but for those you would just pull the relay out to make it like a poverty spec.

Just an interesting observation to add to the unknown….
I suspect that it is a current thing vs a voltage thing….

but yeah in short to fool the CE2 system into thinking everything is ok, you just short the pins and it shuts up.
for CE1, simply remove the relay
