| I replied to a post at Frugalsworld about the overheat light but I didn't know the exacts. Does anyone know how hot the fire loops have to get for the overheat light to come on? And also when will the fire light come on? |

| Which one are you looking for? The overheat or the fire loops? They are 2 seperate elements. IIRC overheat is 700 degrees and fire is 1200. |

The fire light temps depend on the motor.
The overheat caution light is lit up by an overtemp in the engine bay, ECS system, EPU, or MLG wheel wells. |

| My bad. After checking out the 26GS I gave some erroneous info. Fire light is tripped by temps of 765 deg F +- 5 (engine has no bearing on the temp). Overheat is 575 +-5. Keep in mind this is for the fire and overheat detection loops and not the FTIT gage temps. |

| Perhaps I should clarify that a bit more. An internal engine fire (inside the actual engine) will also light the engine fire light and that one depends on the actual type of engine, but I got the impression that the original question had to do with the fire/overheat detection elements which sense an bay fire or overheat. |

I was refering to fire/overheat detection elements which you answered in your second post. Thank you.
I'm an engine guy and I know the the P&W have no way of tripping the fire light. Must be GE's. |

| Your right Rampage.....internally it would be an overtemp condition and give an engine warning light, not an engine fire light. |
