What is the purpose of the temperature gauge?
If you mean the temp. Gauge in a CAR; it let's you know the temperature of the water in the engine Radiator. If the temp. Gauge is at, or close to, or past the RED mark on the gauge, then the water is TOO HOT which means that it is boiling and turning to steam and most likely to burst one of the rubber hoses that carry the water through the engine casing. It is very very unwise to keep the engine going if the gauge goes to the red mark on it. You will cause expensive damage to the engine if it is not kept cool by the water being circulated by the fan in the front of the engine. Just stop the engine and call a mechanic instantly.

How can you tell which component is badthermastat or relay switch for a 1992 ford escort lx?
The thermostat or the fan relay for the radiator fan. If the temperature gauge shows the engine to be hot the fan should be on. If the fan isn't on you can check it by removing the electrical connection to the temperature sensor. If the fan is all right it will come on by default when the wiring connector is removed. Usually it is the thermostat which needs to be replaced when the engine is overheating. If the top hose going to the radiator isn't hot when the temperature gauge shows the engine to be hot the thermostat is stuck shut and should be replaced.
