In any vehicle, when the radiator system is working correctly, the temperature gauge needle should be just below the half way mark when up to operating speed and temperature.
Fuse location for temperature gauge for a Malibu
Why does the temperature gauge on your 2001 malibu not work and the cooling fans run all the time?
Yes
the temperature fuse is located under the hood. in the big box that says FUSES.
That depends on what the car is supposed to run at.
because the engine in that car does not cool down
The most likely cause is a broken wire or blown fuse.
Ground the temperature sending unit and the gauge should go to hot. If it does not the the gauge is defective. The instrument cluster will have to be sent off for repair. had the same problem, check for bad fuse located in fuse box under the hood on drivers side.
The temp sending unit may be unplugged or faulty.
Usually around 220.
more then likely it could be the temp, sending unit. or a bad wire to temp, sensor!!
If the gas gauge stops working is there a fuse for it?
