...yeah, I realize the temp sensor is simple. Matter of fact I unplugged it at one point to see if it was working and it fell to COLD and plugged it back up and when straight to HOT. Hmmmmm, the Gauge Cluster not working is not a bad suggestion, only because my fuel gauge reads FULL all of the time, however the fuel light works. Both gauges TEMP and FUEL are next to each other an are point straight up the same way.
You know this is all starting to make better sense now. The black plastic piece that goes from the driver, covers the gauge cluster and down to the radio and AC controls does not fit properly. And the steering wheel upper and lower covers do not "Look" right. Also Back Glass was broken out because I see glass when I was tracing down the audio wires. But mileage on odometer seems correct. Do gauge panels go out, meaning is this a rare or normal thing for a 15 y/o car?
