Temp gauge on the dash

[vinnieTy]

My temperture gauge on my dash does not work. I am thinking it is the sensor. I was told there is two one on the manifold and one on the drivers side block. I need to look throught the repair manual when i get home but if someone can shead some ideas which one controls the dash temp gauge and where is it i would appreciate it. Also where to buy it should an autopart store carry it or should i go through one of the vendors on this board.

I tried to search but it never came up with anything i think i have a P.C issue but not looking to troubleshoot that right now.

thanks in advance for all the help.:tup:

Re: Temp gauge on the dash

front right hand side of the engine is the sensor. Next to the hose that goes to your radiator. It has black and yellow wires. Just the two in a weatherproof socket.

You can test it by doing the following:

Turn ignition on, but not engine.

remove sensoe cable (black and yellow)

short the cable with a paperclip.

If the gauge goes hot, the sensor is good.

You can remove the instrument cluster easily enough, but I have not got round to taking the gauge out.

If you dismantle the cluster let me know how as I am keen to do the same.
