OK I checked the radiator and its warm on both top and
bottom........thank goodness.....so its getting
circulation all the way around i guess.......thank
goodness. I didnt think the thermostat was sticking
cause i changed that too. i checked the wires at the
black sensor and there is no power......so then i took
the dash apart and checked for power to the gage no
power there.....all fuses ok and so i guess ill see if
power is coming from the fuse box and start there for
a short. there is a test in bentleys for the gauge im
gonna try. BUT if anyone has any thing else to add it
would be appreciated.
