Just today i noticed that the temp gauge has quit working. I know it has only recently occured since i look at it every now and then while i drive. today i let the car warm up for like 10 min before i left for class and it still had not moved after my 10-15 min drive to class, and it wasnt working as i ran errands this afternoon through a bunch of stoplights where i sat for at least 20 min. it should at least be showing something, and it was at least 30 degrees this morning so its not like it should take that long to warm up. any ideas? is there a fuse specifically for the temp gauge, or is there a sensor that could be bad? hope someone knows what i am talking about. it doesnt seem to be an issue but an annoyance factor since i like to be able to monitor my engine a little. the other gauges all work btw.
theres the temp sensor sending unit in the lower intake manifold/thermostat area (in that area). Change that out. and it should work. If not, then its ur gauge cluster or maybe wiring problem.
