temp gauge dont work

[92cb7sa]

my temp gauge went out after i switched out the clutch.
how do i fix it

[ssondubs]

What steps have you taken to correct the issue? Have you checked if wires or sending unit have been damaged?

[slipknot95758]

Make sure the sending unit wires are hooked up, also make sure your coolant is full, if water doesn't come in contact with the sending unit it can read wrong

[92cb7sa]

all wires are hooked up and none are broken.

my radiator cap is bad can it be that

[Losiracer2]

there's a 1 wire plug going into the cylinder head underneath the distributor, make sure that's still intact and not broken, that's what sends the temperature back to the cluster

[slipknot95758]

a bad radiator cap shouldnt cause it, like was mentioned earlier check that one wire sensor under the distributor, it can also be a bad sensor

[92cb7sa]

ill check the sensor in the morning mine car is a lil project bout to do a head swap and need to get the ac working but have idea whats wrong with it
