hey guys, so on my sn95, the speedometer and the temperatue gauge aren't working. I bought the car from my brother inlaw and ever since he had it both never worked. but just the other day they were working fine!! speedo and temp gauge. now they dont work wtf! also, i tested my coolant temp sensor (the tiny one that looks like a pin) i put a test wire fro mthe sensor to the conector and on the gauge cluster the temp gauge moves up and down. does that mean that the current temp sensor works or needs repalcement?

That sounds like theres something wrong with part of the path in the circuit. Like maybe a short to voltage.

so i went though about 4 or 5 sensors and it does the same thing, check engine light comes on and fan comes on at full speed. when i mess with the wire that plugs into the coolant temp sensor, sometimes the fan go off and so does the c.e.l. anyone have aclue what could be causing this?> maybe a ground or the actual wire and connector itself?
