OK, it's almost spring and my temp guage has died. Good news is I still have heat.

So, what is it.... the gauge itself, a voltage regulator, temp sensor.... or ????

It was working fine, showing mid-range temp, then this morning for no aparant reason, it died.

Ideas? Fix?

check the wire to temp. sending unit, its thats ok test the gauge, it thats ok, ur problem going to be temp. sending unit.

I've heard that there are TWO senders (sensors) on a 4.9L F150. Do you know which one would be more suspect? One at the block and one at the thermostat area.

I had a Dodge Aspen that needed the block one replaced.

they have two , one is temp. sensor , the other temp. sending unit.check the one on block, should have only one wire connector.

The one near the thermostat is for the computer, the one at the rear of the block is for the gauge.
