I have been fighting a ground problem for some time and think I may have come across something but have no electrical expertise.
My thermal detector ( signal to heat gauge} is showing continuity between terminals when the wire is completely removed. I dont think this is normal??
The problem is I keep eating up water pumps due to electrolysis . It turns green and the bolts that hold the over plate on the pump corrode away then it starts to leak. I have current showing by holding one contact on the thermal detector and one on the water pump. I dont think this is normal either so am guessing this went bad or never worked. It only has one wire and it goes to ground, this is on a volvo d130s. Otherwise a great engine. Hope some elect head will know the answer.
Thanks
