[TR] Temp gauge failure

[Chip19474 at aol.com]

Joe,
 
If it died suddenly I might suspect a wiring issue but since it quietly  
passed away, I'd check the sensor.  I'm not sure how much the  resistance (i.e., 
how many ohms) should change but you should see some change  between cold 
engine and normal engine.  Have you tried removing the sensor  lead and grounding 
it for a few seconds to see if you get any swing from the  gauge?

it wouldn't go up over the 1/4 mark.  Now nothing - it won't  budge off the
bottom.
