Paul Grainger Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 You have not said which model you have so i can't tell you where items are located. If you can find the temp sensor then remove the wire and connect it to earth. switch on the ignition so the two red lights are on. The gauge should go all the way to the top. If it does then the sender is at fault, these are cheap and easy to replace by unscrewing from the head and screwing the new one back in, they are colour coded by the plastic insulator so replace it with one of the same type ore your gauge will be incorrect. If however the gauge does not go to the top, then is is probably a gauge fault, in this case it may be cheaper to get hold of a second hand instrument cluster. Good luck.
