    Coolant temp problem

    Hi wverytime I'm driving for a while after the cars warmed up my temp gauge moves over to the hot side a lil bit and I'm not leaking anywhere I've replaced the sensors and blead it the whole coolant system is good but when I tap the cluster right on the gauge the needle goes back to where it should and I've already gotten a new gauge and I'm stuck now lol anyone have this problem before?

    Do you have the grounding nut on the back of the temp gauge (cluster)?

        It sounds like you need to remove the cluster, open it up, and at least tighten the nut behind the temperature gauge. I re-flow solder on that and the fuel gauge for better a better contact surface.
        The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

          This topic has been posted so many times...check your ground nuts and check your SI board/batteries.

            I'm stuck because the nut on the back is tight and I have new batteries for the si board soo idk where to go from there... What and where is it that I need to solder?

              You need to look at the SI board under a magnifying glass to see if there are any cracks. Re-solder those cracks will fix your problems.
