temp gauge
Temp gauge is not working on my 96 f350 psd. It stays all the way on cold. I did the ground test and the gauge didnt move but the eng temp light came on. So my ? Is the gauge be the prob or would it be the sensor

Doh! My bad! I guess I remember that now about the PCM only monitoring the oil temperature. My apologies for the misinformation.

The temp gauge is seriously lost most of the time anyways.
They rarely report correct info.
Coolant temp fluctuates to much. I think thats why they didnt' have PCM monitoring the coolant temp. Thats my WAG.

Thanks for the pic. I just shorted across the left one. I will ground the one next to the t stat and see if that moves the gauge
