It is possible that the temperature gauge has stopped working in a 1992 Tempo due to a blown fuse. It is also possible that the temperature gauge stopped working do to the temperature sensor in the engine having a short.
The temperature gauge will not work on a 1984 GMC Sierra truck if the sending unit is defective or the wiring has come loose. It is also possible for the gauge itself to fail, but this is less common.
possible fuse or bulb in dash. or worse a loose wire/rat bit a wire.
replace temperature gauge
Possible causes of gauge not working. Faulty gauge Blown fuse. Open circuit in wiring to the gauge. Temprature transmitter in engine faulty. ( most probably the actual fault ) Lack of coolant in the engine.
the three possible problems to this question are . your temperature sending unit is defective ,you could have problems in your wiring harness, or your temperature gauge is inoperative. I am a licensed mechanic and i have found your best place to start is to make sure you have input power to the sender and sensor and output to the gauge and or light in the system .If you have no output but you have input chances are your wirings fine and the sending unit or temperature sensors bad , you'll have to refer to the proper manual and check resistance.If you have output to the gauge and you have the proper voltage reference at the gauge ,chances are the gauge could be defective. The most common problem is a defective sensor though.
