Be sure it is the gauge that is the problem, before you do anything. Odds are, it is the block sensor that has corrosion on the surface or contacts, so it is not getting a reading, or has become disconnected or has rusted out. A web search may help in locating the sensor. Listed below is another option on this problem http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/Chevrolet-impala/TSQ2Q51T5DHT5Q8N6/p7
I have an 05 impala and had problems with the speedometer and fuel gauge. The only way to fix it was to replace the whole instrument cluster. Pretty easy to do, only took about 45 minutes.
To fix the temperature gauge on a 2001 GMC Savana, start by checking the coolant level and ensuring there are no leaks in the cooling system. Next, inspect the wiring and connections to the temperature sending unit for any damage or corrosion. If the wiring is intact, you may need to replace the temperature sending unit itself or the gauge cluster if the issue persists. Finally, consider using an OBD-II scanner to check for any diagnostic trouble codes that might indicate an underlying issue.

my o6 chevy impala is lighting up on the dash that the engine is hot but the gauge is saying its cold what is wrong and how can i fix it?
how do you fix the heat in a 2002 Chevy impala
There is not much you can do with a bad balancer other than replace it with a new one.
If the gauge is reading hot and the car is running normal temperatures, the water temperature sensor needs replaced.
Try replacing temperature sensor
Have it repaired or replace the radio. Either way, you need to remove the whole unit.....
No - the gauge reports 'real-time' the engine temperature. If it is wrong, there is a problem with the sending unit on the engine. This is a pretty easy fix...
To fix a broken speedometer and fuel gauge on a VW beetle, the parts need to be taken out and replaced. This can be done at any Volkswagen dealership.Ê
