Re: temp gauge not responding

["David Swingle" <dswingle@xxxx>]

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.
