How does the temp gauge work on a Saab?

How does the temp gauge work on a Saab?

No check engine lights are on or anything. When i started from cold after putting in the temp sensor the gauge was already reading at the quarter mark and went up when the car warmed up. The gauge should read all the way at the bottom and come up from there.

Why does the temp gauge go up when the car warms up?

Why does my fuel gauge always read high?

Sometimes the Temp gauge reads ridiculously high, sometimes the Boost gauge does the same, and sometimes (less frequently) the Fuel gauge reads high. Removing and replacing fuse number 4 sorts the problem, but it returns within about a week.

Why is my coolant sensor not working properly?

The culprit can be a bad contact or wiring Coolant Sensor / Engine Control Unit (ECU), and of course the coolant sensor – which is fairly easy to check. Note the enclosed table, measure sensor resistance at connector pin #1 and -2, and extrapolate values if so needed:

Why does my car have a bad temp gauge?

I also have heat and have noticed nothing wrong with the cooling system. Is this as easy as a temp sending unit? The culprit can be a bad contact or wiring Coolant Sensor / Engine Control Unit (ECU), and of course the coolant sensor – which is fairly easy to check.
