engine coolant
In the engine block of a vehicle, the part which is responsible for sending information to the temperature gauge is called the temperature gauge sending unit.
Your thermostat is getting stuck, replace it.
normally the gauge should be in the middle.(between hot and cold) that is concider operating temp.
It helps the computer to judge how much fuel to allow in to the engine, it can also run the gauge on the dash
Most likely, the temperature gauge's connection is loose. It is usually on the thermostat. An inoperative temperature gauge will cause most check engine lights to come on.
A low coolant level could cause the temp gauge not to read correctly. A faulty temp gauge sending unit could also be the cause. The coolant leak, you would have to find the source of the leak to determine the cause.
The temp sending unit may be unplugged or faulty.
Could be your thermostat or your anti-freeze
The gauge does not cause the heat; it only shows what it is.
temperature gauge not working can be caused by a bad temp sensor in engine, a bad gauge in dash, or a bad fuse
If the temperature gauge is not working, one thing it could be besides the gauge itself is a blown fuse. Another possibility is a loose or broken wire on the gauge.Ê
Check to make sure that the temperature sensor is good. A bad sensor is commonly the cause of the temperature gauge not working.
A common cause is the thermostat being stuck in an open position.
There are several things that can cause your 2001 Ford F2 50 outside temperature gauge to quit working. The most common cause is a malfunctioning outside temperature sensor.
There are several reasons this could be:There is no coolant in the engine to trigger the temperature gauge, this will cause complete engine failure very quicklyThe gauge, wiring or sender are badThe engine temperature control thermostat has jammed open or it has been removed.
