Re: [DMCForum] dead temperature gauge



Eric,

I don't see show anything you did could have affected the temperature
gauge.
The fact that it jumps a bit when you turn the key indicates that it isn't
frozen in place and that it is still electrically connected.  But you say
it
is in the 5 o'clock position?  Forgive me if I have this totally backwards
because I honestly can't tell my right from left most of the time, but for
the needle to point in that direction would indicate that it has
dislocated
somehow.  I think the only valid positions are from around 7 through 11
o'clock.

I suggest bending a piece of wire and sticking it through the hole for the
odometer reset switch.  Through here you should be able to push the needle
around where it belongs.  This might fix it.  Otherwise you would need to
take the gauge out to see what went wrong.

Not all DeLorean gauges are the same.  Some tend to move slowly like they
are fluid-dampened; others tend to be jittery and respond quickly to
spikes.
I think that you might have a jittery gauge that happened to swing too far
around and got stuck.  If this is the case, then it would be hard to tell
which way it spun around before it stuck.  If you try to unstick it by
pushing it the other way then you could make it worse.
