Re: [DML] temp gauge still not working

["Ryan Foster" <westiething@xxxx>]

Andy,
I had a problem with my temp guage not working. Itraced it to a pin 
connector located in the enging compartment. If your standing at the back of 
the car looking at the engine you'll see the plastic cover located in the 
right front corner in the engine compartment. remove that, under it is the 
plugs which are pin connectors. There is a white plug at the bottom front of 
all thoes plugs. I removed mine an noticed the female side of the connector 
was seperated. I took a dental tool and pushed it back together. It just 
wasn't making a connection. Try that before replacing the guage. Email me if 
you need more info. Good luck!
Ryan-
