[DML] Re: Temp Gauge Activity

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same issue for a couple of years. This is going to sound 
very non-obvious, but I finally found it. 

Remove the rear carpeted panel under the window. Behind the 
passenger seat there a a bundle of black wires that goes up to a 
screw where it passes thru into the engine compartment. This point 
grounds most of the interior of the car. While you have access, 
tighten up the batter connection (bundle of brown wires) just around 
the corner. 

This fixed a myriad of stragne problems in the car, including the 
sticky temp gauge. The gauge sticking was caused by a power surge 
going backward thru the meter as the car was shut off. 

The other fix I've heard (more of fixing the symptom than the cause) 
was to install a tiny roll pin at the end of the gauge travel to 
stop the needle from going that far.
