Water Temp Gauge


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Having low temperature problems and so have changed the thermostat and opened up the heater tap (which was shut/off) to hopefully fix the problem. But now the gauge is playing up after fiddling with the electrics.

My question is: does the water temp gauge stay at its temperature with the key off or should it go down to "0" or whatever the lowest temp is? Is stuck at about 75 degree Celcius constantly after fiddling.

Also the temp gauge (before fiddling) and oil pressure gauge turn off when the truck has started and the key is turned to on. They will turn back on when you turn the key off!?!

Any ideas what is going on?
