    Default Temp Gauge not working?

    Hey again.
    So i was cleaning up my loom in the engine bay and after pulling the wires out of the black sleeves and putting them back i started the car up and the temp gauge is still.
    I have waited 10 minutes and still nothing and the car is hot!
    Can someone help please.
    Thanks Brandon

    definitely NOT 2 wires for the temp guage
    there is a temp sensor that is 2 wire it has a fuel injector style plug in it but its not used for your guage. Commodores right through have used a single wire temp guage


    Its a single wire from memory the sensor on the 202 is at the drivers side of the head right at the back factory its a green wire.



    cheers

    yeah it was the one wire at the back up the top of the block... the wire had snapped off where the clip thing for the sensor is.

    thanks again!
