jvicars4tranmission temp sensor
My transmission temp gauge does not read. Where is the sensor to be found on the John Deere chasis?

bill hIs there 12 volts going to it?
Is there a good ground?
As for the sender, some folks install it in to a pressure test port on the drivers side of the Ford trans case. Or it could be in the pan, often as a plug. Or it could be in one of the lines to or from the tranny cooler up front. Some RVs have a tranny fluid filter installed on the line from the trans to the cooler, with the sender in the filter base. Look for a spin off filter.
I also had, what I thought was a transmission temp gauge that did not work, always reading at low point of scale. One day in traffic down south in July, the gage did go up, so I guess that with the transmission oil cooler and normal weather and driving conditions, the transmission stays cool. I never did look for sender after that.
