How many sensors work the dash water temp gauge??? and were are they located???

I'm tired of replacing my aftermarket water temp gauge, I'd really like to know what I can do to make the original work.
It never worked since I bought the car back in Nov 07, the original owner told me that he couldn't figure it out, but I wonder sometimes what he was smoking...

Should just be the one in the intake by the thermostat cant miss it !!! Might need a wire diagram (http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us/0900823d/80/09/d4/90/0900823d8009d490/repairInfoPages.htm)to trace the route and do the trouble shooting. ;)

Here is a procedure fot the temp sensor.

Sounds like you have a nightmare in the making with this GA.

Good Luck and I hope that helps. :thumbsup:
