Reinstalling my center counsel, i have a left over wire and don't know where it goes.

Black with blue stripe should be instrument light power. If you've got an additional wire that's black with blue dots, that sounds like the PO added something somewhere.
As for the temp gauge, it takes a while to register. Make sure you've got a good connection to the sender in the taco plate and that the wire is connected securely to the green wire in the protective plastic case under the battery. If all looks good and you still don't get any movement after about 15 minutes of driving, you'll need to check the sender or gauge. Enjoy! |

The oil temp gauge registers the instant the key is turned on no matter what the temp. If the oil is cold it registers cold. If the oil is warm it registers warm. Yes, it takes a while for the oil temp to change so the gauge responds accordingly. |
