Temp gauge doesn't move

Pop knows best,here's a guide to your coolant temperature.Here's the part.Easy to remove.

Take to dealer and use your warranty.

YOur guage is faulty. Your will need to replace your guage if it stays in the hot position even when your car is off and your key is out of the ignition. If it only rises to hot when you turn the key to the run position, you have a wire between your guage and your temp sending unit that has been gounded out. Usually this happens when a person opens their hood to add oil or perform some minor maintenance on the engine and inadvertantly bumps the sensor or switch or wiring. This causes about 65% of these minor issues people incur, but if it does stay all the way up with your key out of the ignition switch, then you will need to replace your temp guage.

Sounds like a faulty temp guage/r a strange malfuntion in a sensor to me as well, only doing it when it going up hill really makes no sense for the way the cooling system works so I doubt that its actually running hot, which is likely why he asked about the gurgling noise, it would force water back into the resivoir if it was running hot assuming that the thermostatic radiator cap is working properly.

move the key up and down see if come back on , if it does look at ing. switch

Sounds like possibly the ignition switch is going out. Try jiggling the key in the ignition in the on position and see if your lights come back on.

Hello tj60576: My name is Roger I will help you. If the temp gauge is stuck? Locate the temp sensor on the motor.Disconnect the wire. After disconnecting the wire. Ground the plug end of the wire. You can do this with a extra piece of wire. Observe the temp gauge with the key on. The gauge should move to cold side of the gauge. If the gauge still reads hot or above then the problem is either in the dash or the gauge itself. You will find the sensor located on the cross over pipe front of the engine far right hand side of the tube.
Should you need further help please just ask. Please rare the answer you received. This way I know the answer helped. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

Try testing the heat sending unit, to do this pull the wire from the tempature sensor and ground the senor wire to a good ground, next turn key on and watch gauge, if it moves over to hot replace the sending unit, if it does not you have one of four problems, one a bad gauge and that I can give you instructions on how to replace it also if other gauges are not working it could be the voltage regulater in the dash,and that you would need instructions on how to fix it.

find the wire that goes to temp sender and apply earth to it turn ignition on the temp gauge should read hot if it does replace water temp sender if gauge dose not move gauge needs replaging

next time it does that move the ignition kee so you pry the swicht i had that problem its ignition switch that defect the housing swicht the problem cheers pierre
