Default Can you wire a gauge for oil and water temp?

Is there a way to wire up 2 sending units to one gauge so I can switch between oil and water temperature. Like wire it through a switch so I dont need 2 gauges?

thanks

Yes its possible, but you'd better label the switch. That way you know what your reading. Not sure of the accuracy because of switch resistance.

do you know which wire coming off the sending units I need to hook to the switch?
