I'll call that one a win. The best kind of fixes are the kind that cost nothing.

You missed my original message
It should.
The sender is nothing more than a thermistor that changes resistance as the
temperature increases or decreases.
That being the case, if you ground the wire to the sender I would expect the
gauge to go full scale.

I was wrong, again!
The sensor near the the thermostat is for the aux. fan.
The engine thermometer for the gauge
Could be a bad instrument cluster ground. Does the temp gauge fluctuate when
you use turn signals or turn on the headlights?

Strangely today it was pretty good all the way
Just got a thought on this. If the thermostat is old then it
might be an idea to change it. Sounds like it might be sticking
till it gets exercised a bit. May decide to stay closed soon.

I wondered if grounding one end would send the temp gauge high so I took a

Rats, I was hoping for an easy answer.
Its a resistance device? I should be able to take a reading there. It'd be
awesome if the FSM had a chart. I'll need to find my copy of the FSM.

I would be quite surprised if the metal next to the temp sensor
was a different temperature than the sensor. So using your IR

Some of you may remember this game where my 190D temp gauge creeps up and down.
Well the last 2 days its up (yeah I know, sell when its up ;)
Anyway tonight we pulled in the driveway and I jumped out with my IR
thermometer. The temp gauge read 100C or just above (meaning just above the

My first guess is a bad ground in your instrument cluster.
