The arrow points waaaay past the hot side and stays there even when the car is off or running. And another thing is that the dash keeps beeping like the door is open but its closed, and when i go to turn off the car the check engine light blinks rapidly and makes a funny beeping sound with the key in the ignition. With the key out it does nothing but blink the theft light. Any help would be great, i need my dash mounted atleast so i can go to knotts next week

Thanks cafords

Is this the fox in your sig? If so check ground wires and then the temp sensor in the lower intake. Run codes

My bad yea it is but i have a sn95 dash and 94 computer. The gauge just stays there even when i disconnect the battery. It could be a ground but ive never had this problem until i had disconnected everything to remove the dash a few days ago

I just checked my grounds and everything was good. I think my pats system took a shit on me but i still dont know why the temp gauge is stuck all the way past the H. Could it be the cluster that went bad or could it be my computer?
