Problem: The temperature gauge on the dashboard always indicated the car to be cold. Obviously, not working.
Solution: There could be a couple of things wrong, so I started the elimination process. First, I wanted to make sure that the temperature sensor in the engine (one wire only) was not faulty. I took off the sensor and grounded the wire. If the sensor was bad, the dashboard indicator should have moved all the way up. In this case, it didnt move at all. Stayed in the same place. This means that there is something faulty with the wiring most likely and the instrument panel. I will replace the instrument panel and test to see.
Actually, we found out the sensor was bad and replaced it. Everything worked again.
