My temp gauge stopped working (stuck on coldest temp, far left side of the gauge) a few days ago. On the day after it stopped, it did show a rise in temperature once during the day, but never a steady temperature. Instead, it was a "jittery" readout, with the needle shaking quite a bit.
I have pulled out the service manual, verified the wire involved, and find no issues with the connections at the engine end. Since 90% of electrical issues are connections, I plan to open up the instrument panel tomorrow and check those connections.
1) Does anyone have any ideas on other things to check?
2) Any pitfalls to avoid when opening up the panel?
