temperature gauge not working....
Hi All!
My dad has a 1991 F-150, 300 inline 6 cyl, auto trans...the engine temp gauge on the dash is not working and he thinks it's a sensor or switch but he doesn't know where it's located. Can anyone help us with this problem?
Thank You in advance!

does the gauge move at all??? or just sit there and not do a thing... on my truck it doesnt register in the normal range when driven on the highway and on main roads etc... but when idling the gauge does pick up..

Have a look of intake manifold, where it makes contact to cilinder head, Temperature sender its located exactly under intake bore # 6.
Relative to no Readings on highway, it seem that thermostat is stuck open or no present. Install/replace thermostat because this condittiona cause un-necessary wear to engine.
