Coolwazabi Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 WEll i have a 95 chevy caprice. the temp gauge is going nuts.. 99% of the time it'll seem off and stay at 0 degrees. every once in awhile it'll kick all the way to the red "HOT" and my dash has a light that says "check gauge"... i crank the heat to see if its really really hot.. "it isn't" then it'll randomly turn off.. no harm.. NOW i just want it fixed. I already replace the temp sensor "like a brass lookin spark plug" but it didn't fix it... any ideas ??

nautical7 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 If i had to guess I would say it's something with the actual gauge possibly going bad, and if it pegs out your check gauge light may just come on automatically because of this.

I had 2 of my 4 go out on my 01 Impala , was a pain to fix em.. well when i crank the car "and you know where the gauges so all the way across the board before starting ??" it'll work doing that.. just doesn't read temperature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
