Start at the Temp sensor clip, make sure it is tight. (The Temp sensor is in the thermostat housing.) If thats not it, try and follow the wire back into the loom to see if there is any worn part of it. If nothing, its either a dodgey sensor or gauge.

It says to put 12 volts across each guage and that they should then are supposed to read full. > > The only problem is, the four tracks on my temperature guage circuit are all joined somehow?? I didn't put the 12-volts across them as i didn't want to short it out. > Two of them are meant to be joined, as they are the positive for both the fuel and the temp guages, but the other two should be seperate as they are the respective earths for each of the guages. But somehow, on my guage all four tracks are joined to each other?!?! > Despite this, I decided to put the guage back in to see if i had done anything to fix the situation, but surprise surprise only the fuel guage still works :( > Can anyone offer some suggestions as to why my temp guage won't work? I'm guessing it is to do with all the contacts being common, but i don't know enough about guages and stuff to work out what to do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated! > Cheers, > Mark Firman. > > _____________________________________________________________ > Get Your free Ozdat Email Account > ---> http://www.ozdat.com > > _____________________________________________________________ > Select your own custom email address for FREE!
