Re: '70 C10 Temp Gauge Max Hot, Why?

The circuit works so when the wire is off of the sensor the guage should read low. When the wire to sensor is grounded to the block the guage should peg high and it should be some where in between when hooked to the sensor. The key must be on for these tests.

If you get no action then I would check the continuity of the wire from the sensor to the guage plug at the circuit board disconnect the sensor from the wire for this. If you have good continuity then I would pull the guage. It is possible to just remove the temperature guage pair from the rest of the guages. Possible not easy.
