I think this is my 4th or 5th gauge I've had to replace. Yes, been on a battery tender for years. Anyone have an "excellent" condition gauge they want to sell? Anyone know what the price is for a new one?
Not sure what that is or how to replace. The gauge just froze at about 180 degrees. Fans still come on at the right temp, so I don't think the software is affected.
Always R&R the sender/sensor first as it's considerably cheaper than the gauge. My oil pressure sender failed at only 3,000 miles and it was an easy 10 minute $25 part fix once the underbody pans were off.
I'm sorry but if the needle is frozen at a particular position there is no need to mess with sending units. Your gauge is bad. I have two new gauges in the box if you are interested, please PM me.
