Fiesta temp gauge

Sep 26, 2004 2 Replies

Hi, Next door neighbours Fiesta temperature gauge is showing maximum at all times. As soon as the ignition is switched on the gauge climbs to full temp. Does he need a new sender or is it and electrical problem? Mant thanks.


The message from "Barnes" contains these words:

Sounds a lot like a short-circuit sender. Check by pulling the wire off it and seeing if the gauge drops back to cold.

also try earthling the wires to ground
