95 Winstar 3.8 engine temp gage problem

First try cleaning all the contacts on the back of the instrument panel to make sure it's getting a good connection to the sender. If that fails, start calling wrecking yards in your area, it shouldn't be too hard to find a wrecked Windstar, they sold tons of them.

Thanks, the problem is not dirty contacts (been there done that).
