Does anybody know the answer to this question??????? YES I HAVE THE ANSWER...REPLACE THE TEMP GUAGE. ITS NOT AS HARD AS YOU WOULD THINK...ABOUT A 20 MIN. JOB ------------------------------------------------ I tried replacing the temp gauge but that wasn't the problem for me. On top of the engine is a temp sender that is all so easy to get to but it is for the engine computer. The temp sender for the gauge is under the water pump. My temp sender went bad because the water pump started leaking. It is like the engine is headed for a major problem of over heating but it disables the temp sender which warns the driver of over heating. It is not easy to change the temp sender but it is doable if you pull off the thermostat housing. Don't put the old thermostat back in. Also, don't get an aftermarket temp sender, I got one and it reads 3/4 hot all the time. It only cost me $5 but I wish I had have bought from the dealer what ever it cost.
temp sensor - sends signals to the computer for driveability temp sender - measures temp and sends to gauge in dash
only 3 reasons a temp gauge wont work the temp sender is bad the gauge is bad or the wire from temp sender to gauge is broken
On a 1996 Ford Explorer , 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine : The coolant temperature gauge sender is by the engine cooling thermostat housing ( follow the TOP radiator hose from the radiator , it connects to a metal pipe which is part of the thermostat housing ) When standing in FRONT of the vehicle , I BELIEVE it is the sender on the LEFT , the other sender is used for the EEC V / OBD II system
Take wire off temperature sender look a guage. If guage at cool, temp sender needs replacement. If guage still at hot, temp sender wire shorted to engine or vehicle body.
I had this problem on a 2001 Ford Fiesta. I ended up having to get the temparature gauge sender unit replaced.
the coolant temp is below the regulated temperature.. replace the thermostat and temp sender switch
