ENGINE TEMP LIGHT!? Help?
Popped on after I went through some BIG puddles, like 2 feet of water at some points, replaced the sensor on the water pump. My temperature gauge has either never worked or the truck just perpetually runs insanely cold, but the engine temp. like just popped on, it flickers sometimes and after a long time of waiting it goes away when it's first started, but flickers back on after a couple minutes.
I'm guessing there's another sensor that I'm missing, any ideas?

BINGO! Tim's got the right pic.
If you've swapped a new Gauge sender and the gauge still reads low, your T-stat is shot
