My temp gauge doesn't move. I installed a new sender and still no movement. It does move (just a little) when the ignition is turned on so it is getting power.

With power on to gauge, ground the sender wire and it should move full scale.
Do you have a ground wire connected to the gauge itself? |

Did the test and the gauge works. The wire to the sender was faulty. Installed a new sender wire. Now that the gauge works, is there a way to get more fluctuation out of it. It seems to stay in the very low range regardless of driving conditions.

When I was in Portland Oregon, my temperature gauge never moved, I was beginning to suspect something was wrong with it. But once I moved to California I found it worked normally. |
