    Can anyone do a temp sensor?

    Hi all,

    I’m very nearly close to selling the old boy, and the temp needle doesn’t move. My best guess is the sensor because the fuse has been replaced and the battery gauge works. Don’t want to have to send it ALLLLL the way down to Garden Grove and don’t feel comfortable doing it myself. Live in Beaumont 92223.
    Thank you guys for reading.

    Does it sit down at the 6:00 position?

    Give the left side of the binnacle a whack, sometimes the needle sticks...

    If you went to Garden Grove, you might be surprised, as they moved to Huntington Beach years ago....

    Alright so I just started it up again and let it sit idling for about 5-6 mins. I smacked the side, top and bottom of the binnacle a couple times each. The speedo needle flopped a bit but that was about it. Just wanted to see if any of you lads could do a replace before I go bend over (presumably) at the shop. Is there anything else I should check? Stuck thermostat?
