New Owner - Unsure whats on the dashboard

Post by JMwithbettybongo » Mon Sep 11, 2023 12:22 pm

Hi all,

This is my first post :o - my wife and i have just bought a Mazda Bongo 2003 2L petrol - so far so good! we have lovingly called her Betty Bongo.

However their is 2 LCD screens on the dashboard that are after market add on's - they turn on with a switch under the dash when flicked. They look to be temperature sensors but I'm unsure for which.

The left one stays around 18-28
Right one raises up to around 80-88

I think the right one is the engine temp ? as it would make sense as its something getting hotter as we drive.
The left one starts at around 25-30 esp on a hot day and slowly lowers to around 18-22 when driving.

Anyone seen these before or know what they are? I have 0 knowledge on cars/vans so im learning as i go - i have't yet been able to figure out where the wires go and my wife doesn't really want me to start playing case i break it :D

Let me know if this is in the wrong place for future posts.

Thanks

I think you would need to follow the wiring to find out just where the sensors are located! Can't say I've ever seen that combination before.

Not one we've seen before. Can find the previous owner?
