I got a new thermocouple for my pyro because my gauge was only working when it wanted to. I just simply attached the lead wires to the thermocouple connectors with the terminals provided but when I stripped some of the insulation back that covers both wires I found a solid copper wire in with the read and yellow insulated wires? Not a big fan of wiring, just wondering if anybody knows where this is should go?

 

isnt that just a ground wire for the loom ?

 

That's what it sounds like.

 

Not sure, but the gauge didnt work at all after I hooked it to the new thermocouple. When I disconnected the old setup the solid wire was not hooked to anything. I will try running a ground to it tonight and see what happens.

 

shouldnt have to attach the copper wire, its just
an insulating wire for the loom its wrapped in.

post up what you find out.

 

Must be an insulating wire like you said. Just had to connect the terminals a little better and she works good now. Thanks Guys.

 

good news.
