    For some time now the temp gauge on my instrument cluster just doesn't work at all. The sensor under the hood is fine, I made sure that the fans kick in at the right time but it's just really annoying to look at it and nothing happening. Any fixes?

    Change the coolant temp sensor. It has 2 parts one for the dash and one for the pcm.

    Already have done this, still nothing. Could it be bad on my instrument cluster?
