Why is temp gauge stuck on hot replaced thermostat and temp sensor?
This may sound like I think you are dumb, but I do not, I have been caught by each of these:Did you change the correct sensor? Both my cars and my truck have separate senders for the computer, the light and the gauge.Did you get the correct replacement part? An incorrect sensor can cause the gauge to: operate backwards, stick hot or cold, not operate at all. And to make this more fun the sender will look identical to the correct one except for the part number.Did you check the gauge while the sensor was unplugged? It should drop to cold when the sensor is unplugged. If not you have a bad gauge or a wiring fault, or both as a wiring fault can ruin the gauge.Final test, disconnect the gauge from the wiring at the gauge, does the needle drop? No then replace gauge. If does drop figure out where the incorrect indication is coming from.
