In my case the bad original voltage stabilizer did not make the two gauges not work - they were just off. Temperature read way high. Another note - I bench tested the original to verify it was bad by using a 12 volt DC power supply. Output was all over the place. I'm not sure what the output is supposed to look like on the mechanical type, but I suspected it was not working correctly. I had already run a separate ground wire to it. I purchased a new electronic stabilizer from Delta and it didn't work. Input 12V and output 12V. That stumped me for awhile since I assumed I was testing it wrong. Sent back to Delta for a different one with same result. Now I was sure I was doing something wrong! A couple of months later I was ordering something else from Moss and decided "what the hell" and ordered another stabilizer (my new rheostat was also defective. I have terrible luck that way). Bench test was 12V in, 10V out, and now my JH isn't overheating!
