If the temperature gauge needle doesn't go back to zero when the car is shut off, it is possible that the needle is sticking. A little WD-40 or electronic spray on the gauge might fix the problem. There could also be a problem with the MAP Sensor or a Radiator Pressure sensor in the engine.

Repairing an inoperative gas guage on a 1997 Buick Park Avenue. Needle stuck behind stopper pin?
Have fixed this issue many times... you need a STRONG magnet. Turn the ignition off, place the magnet over the gauge (on the clear plastic cover over the gauge cluster) on the end of the needle... it will react to the magnet and move when you move the magnet. Simply rotate the needle back into its proper position. Raise the magnet up... if it stays in the position, turn the ignition on... if your gauge is not broken, the needle should be reset and function properly.

How do you check the temperature of a swimming pool?
The gauge on the pool filtration equipment is there to indicate back pressure in front of the pump. Most of them have a section that is done in red, when the needle reaches the red it indicates that the filter needs cleaning. Otherwise when the gauge gets about two thirds up you should clean the filter. Your judgment with this will improve with time and experience.

Why is my fuel gauge in my 96 grand chreokee laredo keep going from empty to full?
I am in the process of fixing my fuel gauge problem now. I took the fuel pump out of the tank. at the top of the float arm there is a memory stick much like the sim card you install in your cell phone. it has many copper lines running through it (looks like the gas gauge) and the read needle on your float arm gives the reading of how full the tank is. the needle on the float arm seems to rock back and forth or side to side which over time pulls the needle which is spring loaded (no actual spring, but by the bend in the metal) away from the chart or sim card. you can try very very gently to put the spring back in the needle by inserting a small regular screwdriver or equivalent behind it and try and get the needle to make contact with the sim card again. if successful your fuel gauge should work properly again and you save a couple of hundred bucks.
