Could be the gauge in the dash, the temp sensor on the engine, or the thermostat is not closing to warm up the engine.

The first thing to do is verify the engine does indeed get up to temperature, the upper radiator hose should be scalding hot to the touch if it does after about 10 minutes of road time. If the engine is operating at the right temperature you may have a problem in the electronics of the instrument cluster.

How do I fix the fuel gauge on a 2001 Lincoln Navigator truck?
How do you know it is the fuel gauge? it could be the fuel level inside the fuel tank. Please give more information. You are not getting a reading? drop tank and the fuel lever is located ontop of the tank. put an ohm meter across the wires to see if the fuel lever is working. take the fuel lever out of the tank and inspect. Be carefull not to smoke or create a spark while working on the gas tank.

2001 Lincoln navigator. Fuel gauge seems stuck it doesnt work how so i fix this problem?
check fuel sensor in fuel tank first to see if this is causing the problem. Some cars you can get to it from your trunk and most cars have to drop the fuel tank.

My speedomoter just stopped working on my 98 lincoln navigator
It is either a bad gauge(not likely), or a bad Vehicle Speed Sensor. It screws into the side of the transmission and tells the gauge what to read. It isn't a real expensive part and can be easily changed.

Can't find exterior temperature gauge in 2008 Lincoln Nav. L
Page 106 from the owner's manual. It says (if equipped), it's in the MESSAGE CENTER. Press the INFO button (you should see 3 buttons INFO, SETUP, RESET, pressing INFO will toggle the odometer display between a number of things like odometer, distance to empty, outside temperature, etc.

Good luck, if you still need help don't hesitate to stop by your local dealer and have them show you.
