Hi everybody,was wondering if there is a seperate fuse for the temperature gauge on the dash as mine isn't working. It hasn't worked since i got the vehicle a couple of weeks ago. I changed the coolant toady,ran the system with the heater on till it got hot. Took car for a run and now left it for a couple of hours to see if there are any air locks. Just wondered why the temp gauge doesn't move? I even put a new heater pump on just next to the pollen filter under the bonnet. Just want my temp gauge working before i drive to Cornwall this next weekend. Anybody help please?? . Forgot to mention it's a ford fiesta 1.3 finesse on a 1999 plate(T)

 

Hi try 2check ur voltages to temp sensor with voltsmeter,check if ur electric connector is still on temp sensor, the gauge on the instrument interior do go faulty,or try disconnecting battery earth 4few mins,also try taping top dash incase faulty gauge.

 

Almost certainly the sender, nice and cheap fix as senders are very cheap, this could easily be confirmed by disconnecting the wire from the sender and earthing this will make the gauge read full, this shows you the gauge to be working.

The sender will be located on the cylinder head, or thermostat housing and is just one wire.
