temperature gauge doesn't work

sizzam · 06-26-2009, 06:06 PM

I just need to get the engine temperature gauge working to pass safety inspection, I'm wondering where the sensor is located so I can replace it because I didn't know which one it was this morning and I have been looking for a repair manual for a while but can't find one.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Give me a call Monday after about 9:00 AM Pacific time. I have those sensors in stock. They're not expensive, and I can get one to you by Thursday or so real easily.

its has 2 sensors, one that gets the temp and the other is the one that makes the gauge move, its most likely the one that messed up on ur car.
looks like this :

this one is the other sensor but probably not the one that failed.

if you know where this one is, the other sensor is in the same area but on the bottom and a lil uncomfortable to get too.
