If it worked before, maybe a bad/wrong sending unit. Check the connection also.

SOURCE: the temp gage and the oil presser gage dont work on my 1990 wrang

Normally it's on the thermostat housing at the front of the engine.(I have also seen some models with a second sensor on the l/r of the cylinder head) but the therm housing is best bet!!!

SOURCE: electical trouble shooting

Your solution is simple,1998 Jeep Cherokee. The ASD relay gives power to the fuel pump the injectors and distributor also the Oxygen sensor heater circuit. 1st check the fuel pump fuse make sure its not open. If it is open you are dealing with a short to power located at the Oxygen heater circuit,these wire are prone to short together you may have to open the wiring harness and make the inspection if power steering fluid or transmission fluid has degraded the wires you will have to solve for the fluid leaking to protect the harness(wires) from shorting

There is a fuse for the whole instrument cluster not just the fuel gauge . It could be the gauge or the sending unit in the fuel take that is bad . Diagnosis of Stuck Fuel Gauge Is it Gauge or Sending Unit

Just got saab 900s 2.0 petrol non turbo on a 98 plate ,is the old motor with dizzy cap ,fuel gauge stuck on full and no temp gauge ,whers best place to start look

The fuel gage is most likely the fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank, the temp could be wiring or the temp sending unit on the engine, try that first.

All my gauges just quit working. car still runs fine. they done this 2 or 3 times but would always start again. this time have not come back on. turn signals and dash lights work just no gauges.

At the moment, your instrument cluster maybe faulty? Due the basic tests, try to be sure. Check for applicable trouble codes relating to instrument cluster--pcm--communication codes. Some of the national brand auto stores in this country may check codes for free, if there are any.
Check voltage and ground circuits for the instrument cluster. The sending units for gages are wired to pcm then the pcm sends serial data to instrument cluster telling instrument cluster what to do with gages. If you want to check gage sending units, that's ok.

If you have a scanner that can communicate with instrument cluster, you can get instrument cluster to do a self-test. The self-test, the instrument cluster will turn warning lamps on and off, sweep gages w/o outside data input. The instrument is considered good, if it passes that test, if not, the instrument cluster is considered faulty.

Temp gauge sending unit

Well it should read cold until the engine warms up, then somewhere in the middle of the gauge.
Normal range is 190 - 220 degrees.

The temperature gauge on my 2002 grand prix dose

the temperature sending unit on a 97 grand prix 3800 gt(which is also the coolant temperature sensor) is not accurate. the sending unit part of this sensor only sends info to the guage on the dash. the coolant sensor part sends info to the computer of the car. it is located under thermostat and somewhat difficult to get at. i had put a brand new one in and my temperature on my dash is all over the place---even with good thermostat and properly bled system. when i hook up a scanner to my computer, the coolant sensor is sending the computer(ecu??) what seems to be the right temp. anywhere from 194 degrees to 217 when hot. the guage however on dash go from 160 to 260 in less than 2 minutes.

Water temp gauge stay on 160 degree

should be fine as long as the gage goes up and down and you get heat it should be fine make sure you consider the outside temp. as the engine starts it will heat up get really hot the the thermostate opens and the gage will fall and should but not always stay low it could just be the ip gage.

Temp gauge off charts

Are you mistaking the engine temp sensor for the engine temp sending unit? The temp sensor is for the fuel injection system and the temp sending unit is for the gauge. If you asked for a sensor thats what they sold you. You need to ask for a sending unit.
