| I need to know how I could maybe fix a single gauge in my car to work. I have done tests to see if it would move but when I didn't the test all of the gauges on the car moved except my coolant temperature gauge. What could be the issue? |

| Most likely it can be the temp sensor. If you haven't checked it then I would check/change that first. I'm not sure what car you got. But most of the newer cars you can hook up a diagnostic tool to it and if it shows the correct temp then it's the gauge, or if it shows nothing then most likely it's the sensor. |

I hooked up my obd 2 scan tool to it and it didnt show anything for that so i think my car is a little to old, but when I check the sensor what do i need to do to check it? |

| It can be a easy fix mate. Usually When one gauge stops working, the problem may be in the gauge itself or a bad sensor, try replacing the temperature sensor first |
