Unhappy Ohc electric problem

Hey guys,

Today my ohc said that the temp was 140 and I took it apart thinking the ground wire was loose so after fideling with all that it still is bad and I've already tried a different sensor. Plus the lights are very dim also.

Any ideas?

The solder joints on the resistors might be going bad, maybe the reason for the dim display.

The temperature sensor changes resistance with temperature. The OHC reads that resistance. If the OHC is getting bad power or the wires to the sensor are damaged, that is what will happen.
