Coolant Temperature Gauge

Recommended Posts

As title, the needle on my gauge sits between the first and second marks regardless of anything else eg ignition/engine on/off.

 

Is the gauge stuck or could something further down the wiring to the sensor cause this?

Its possible that the connector is on the wrong sensor on the head or the wire is broken.

 

Has the head ever been off & does your guage move at all when the car gets hot?

My big ends went, bought a second hand short block, so the head has only gone back on last week and the gauge does not move at all.

 

Edit:

Thanks for the reply but it worked this morning on my way in to work. I had cleaned up all of the connectors last night but it appeared to make no difference. On the advice of my brother I also tried the BF&I method this morning - hit the dash hard with my fist. One or a combination of both seems to have worked!
