AutoMeter Trans Temp guage NOT working
My AutoMeter Trans Temp guage is NOT working, wondering what would be a good diagnostic procedure for figuring this out?

Its an electrical guage not mechanical. I checked the connections behind the guage and they look good. It's my assumption the guage is as old as the truck. I was unable to trace the wires to the tranny. Any diagnostic procedures and location at the tranny would be appreciated.
Thanks Dan

O.K. so look around the tranny pan, look for a thermocouple ( I assume electrical, correct me if im wrong ) and check Electrical connection? Pics are helpfull as well as pages out of a service manual. I hope I don't sound like a complete moron here.
Thanks Dan

Don't worry about it. There are no morons here, just a huge family that helps each other out. Do you have a model # on the guage and maybe I can find a manual or something for you.

I found this on the Autometer website. Do these colors match yours?
What Are These Colored Wires On My Full Sweep Electric Temperature Gauge For?
• Red = key on power supply
• Black = common chassis ground
• White (Cobalt, C2, Lunar, & NV series only) = dash lighting power
• Gray and Purple = communication between sender and gauge
