Check for loose wires or grounds.
I am assuming that you have the analog style gauge cluster. What you would do is you would take the gauge cluster out of the dashboard area. Then, you would install a new gauge. If you cannot do this, I would check the internet and find a new Chrysler New Yorker gauge cluster. I believe that you could use either a digital cluster or an analog cluster, but I would use the same type that your car curently has. Good Luck! I hope that this helps.
Yes.
Yes, it would be the same fuse that feeds the entire gauge cluster.
The more popular and safer mod to do would be to buy an entirely new gauge cluster out of a wrecked neon that had a tach. SRT and Tach clusters are direct swaps into neons with no tach (I've got an '03 SE with an '03 SRT-4 cluster). One downside - your mileage won't carry so your cluster will read the milage on the car it was removed from.
The actual dash would have to be cut out, as it is attached. The gauge cluster un bolts from the back.
Are you sure its the gauge? A quick easy test is to ground the wire to the block. The gauge should sweep to HOT and peg. If it doesnt then the gauge cluster has to be replaced. Not real sure if you can purchase just the temp gauge in the cluster though. I think it comes as one complete package. This would require some dash removal. Not dificult but time consuming. If you want to go the cheaper route you can always mount a separate temp gauge.
Unless the entire gauge cluster was replaced with one out of another car, I would have to say the gauge is faulty. Is the car named "Christine" by chance?
Ruth Patrick gauged water quality by putting it on a scale.
I would say you have a problem with the dash cluster. If both speedometer and odometer were not working I would say the problem may be the speed sensor but being only the odometer is out I would blame the cluster. I believe you will have to replace the cluster as a whole with a reconditioned unit. This will probably be a dealer item only.
under your dash there should be a fuse for your instrument cluster. that is probably the problem.
More often than not, a fuel gauge problem is usually a faulty fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank.
35505-SA5-003 is the part number through Honda. If you have a local junkyard, I would recommend going there and taking the bulbs out of the cluster on a junked Honda.
