A temperature gauge, that always read the maximum temperature, is usually not connected to the temperature sensor. The wire between the gauge and the sensor must be broken.
i have a 1990 ford ranger and my fule gauge always reads full, why?
- A compass needle always aligns along the north-south line - The earth stays in its orbit
How much blood stays on a needle after shading a tattoo?
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.
mine stays just a quarter inch below midway all the time at normal temp
the sending unit may be stuck
on my 99 rodeo, this problem was caused by the fuel indicator located inside the fuel tank and part of the pump - you need to replace the entire pump which entails dropping the entire tank
Thermostat is sticking.
The gauge, wiring or sending unit is bad.
The floater inside your pump is sticking. You will have to replace your fuel pump in order to fix this problem.
If you have been driving the car for some time, you should have noticed on many occasions that the needle on the temp gauge rises to a certain place and usually stays right there. If the needle, in normal driving, is rising higher than it used to, and staying there, you do need to get that checked out, yes, because that obviously isn't "normal".
