No, first of all the 1/2 of the temp sender that works the light appears to be an old skewel normally closed switch, so can't really do much to change that other than maybe use a different sender. The wiring diagram for the temp sender shows both sides the same and NTC resistors internally but I think that is misleading and from what I can tell. I am going to double check that though. So what I am trying to do is read the temp from the DME side and turn the light on with that.
