Okay...Lets be realistic about this, there could be a number of things, a separation in the electrical line, or something is simply disconnected that could be the culprit your temp gauge quit working. Above the thermostat you should see a black metal tube that is connected to the lower intake manifold. This black metal tube connects to the thermostat, and goes into one of the heater hose lines. Above and on this black tube on the lower intake manifold is the electronic component is actually the temp sensor when you disconnect a wire from it you should see a two pronged white component, replace this by unscrewing it from this black metal tube and install a new one. The reason the temp sensor is here is because it is measuring the heat of the antifreeze/water coming out of the block into the lower intake manifold thus enabling the temperature sensor to deliver an accurate reading, if this becomes faulty or covered with rust it can easily deliver an inaccurate reading or quit working. My suggestion is to try replacing it, if that doesnt work follow the wiring diagram to see if you can find a disconnection in the wires.
Good luck!
no. the bolt pattern was changed
There are several things that can cause your 2001 Ford F2 50 outside temperature gauge to quit working. The most common cause is a malfunctioning outside temperature sensor.
Yes
what year model
235-85 16
broken ground wire on sender
Temperature Gauge Sending Unit The sending unit is located in the front section of the intake manifold in the vicinity of the thermostat.
Where is cylinder temp sensor on 2000 Ford f250 with v10 engine
Under the hood on the driver side.
he drives a Ford f250
i have a 1990 ford ranger and my fule gauge always reads full, why?
The gauge does not cause the heat; it only shows what it is.
