Temperature / warning lights on dash issue HELP!! ‍♀️

[MzBehavinVx]

Oh ok. So I have a vx commodore 2001 model and my temperature gauge hasn't worked since I got it a few months ago and as I have just registered it to take for a decent drive the warning lights on the dash have been there since I got it also mind you they left for a few days when I took the abs module out to check (was not a good experience lols as I may have accidently touched the battery terminal with either my silver rings or the screwdriver I was holding, having rings on each finger the shock went through all bar my thumb left one heck of a blister for few days and OMG THE PAIN yep won't be doing that again anytime soon) but soon came back on, ok so then when I went over a speed bump it did something, and things switched, and the temperature gauge started working and the warning lights all turned off then came home and when started to go out again was back to temperature gauge not working and warming lights came on, I have replaced the temperature sensor today but didn't help the situation, also just to put in there the fans do work.

Sounds like a ground connection, and/or a connector not plugged in correctly,
Get hold of the Service manual and use the schematic wiring diagrams and that may assist.
(Manual is in PDF and PC required to view it)

a faulty abs module can produce those symptoms
as well as a faulty alternator regulator

The lesson there is if you're going to do any work on an electrical system,disconnect the battery FIRST.

thanks for that knowledge, I think I figured that out the hard way.

ok will follow other steps Krusing mentioned and then go from there. Thanks for input.
