Temperature gauge broke
Temperature gauge broke
Yeah the temperatue gauge in my car is broke. Now i have the haynes and it was saying where the coolant temperature sensor was and i went to napa picked up the gauge that is suppose to fix the gauge and make it work but it was different or i am looking in the wrong place. I know i am not the smartest man but don't tell the wife.
Now it did work but it overheated a couple of summers ago and i filled it up with out putting anti freeze. I got fed up on paying the gas prizes and it sat for a winter and the radiator froze. So ever since then it hasn't worked. But i got a new radiator and it works fine but that damn temp gauge stays red line.
Just wanting to know where it could be located.

Re: Temperature gauge broke
One day the temp gage quit in my 86 T/A, I bought a new temp sensor and replaced it and still nothing, the gage would only move to the first line and sit there. I pulled out the sensor and replaced it with a mechanical gage and had to put the fan on a toggle swithch as it is controlled by the temp sensor. BUT now the car spark knocks like crazy under HARD excelleration.
