Try replacing the engine coolant temp sensor.
The sensor for the temp gauge in the 96 S10 4.3L would be the sensor located between #3 and #5 spark plugs, it has one wire plugged to it. The temp sensor for the ECM is located next to the thermostat housing, it has two wires plugged to it.
yes
The engine coolant temp (ECT) sensor on that 97 S10 2.2L would be found close to the thermostat.
It doesn't have one.
what does it do
no the lights mounting area and wiring harness are different. I have the opposite problem a 2000 s10 and bought a 96 radator support
GM says no. it only interchanges with the 97
yes. i drive a 2000 s10 and i have 18's
They are not adjustable.
