This is going to sound strange, but believe me it works. I hate to do it in public. 1 - Start the car 2 - Slap the side of the binnacle next to the guage. Hard. Maybe a couple of times. This will unstick the needle. Not an unusual problem. I've been chasing this one for years, the only reasonable solution I picked up was to put a roll pin thru the face at the bottom of the guage range to stop the needle. I got this suggestion from one of the major suppliers. I haven't done it yet though. Dave --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "K Creason" <dmc4687@xxxx> wrote: > My temp gauge suddenly died this afternoon.
