My original post asked how I could trouble shoot the constant cool
indication on the temp guage. The question was 'how do I test whether
it is the temp sender unit, the guage itself or the therostat????'
The replys to the question and (number of similar replys) were as
follows:
1. Make sure the car has a thermostat (2) YES it does
2. On my car, it was a bad sender unit (2)
3. Warm up the car and dip a thermometer into the water (2)
4. Attach the temp guage sending wire to the gas guage and view the
results (1)
While I certainly appreciate all the replys, it appears that my options
are to start with reply number 3, (dip a thermometer into a warmed up
radiator) THat will isolate a bad thermostat. Then it's either replace
the thermostat or start with a new sending unit and work towards the
guage.
Again thanks much.
