Where are the fuel and temperature gauges located?
The way the cluster and gauge circuits are designed is that the fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, temperature guage, and brake indicator light, ALL share the same +12V feed, which comes into the cluster on pin 10 of the connector via two PINK wires.
Are there any problems with the fuel gauge?
Since you have +12V to the gauges, that means that one of four problems exist for the fuel gauge and the temperature guages. (They will have to be diagnosed seperately since the problem with the fuel gauge circuit might not be the same as the problem with the temp gauge circuit.)

What does + 12V mean on oil pressure gauge?
Since the oil pressure gauge is working, then you have the +12V into the cluster on these pink wires AND any possible “refernce ground” source for the gauges is probably there as well. Since you have +12V to the gauges, that means that one of four problems exist for the fuel gauge and the temperature guages.
Why does temperature gauge not working?
There are many reasons your car’s heater isn’t working. Maybe the fan is malfunctioning. Perhaps your temperature gauge is running below normal. There could even be a puddle of liquid under the front of the vehicle. A lack of heat can be a symptom of a much larger problem.
Why is the coolant temp gauge not working?
If the coolant temperature gauge is constantly fluctuating then the most common cause of this is a bad thermostat. If the thermostat is sticking or not opening and closing right then this will occur. It can also be a clog in the radiator or a water pump problem. If the engine has never gotten too hot then the thermostat should be replaced first.
Why is my car temp gauge not working?
One common cause of a temperature gauge that malfunctions is the thermostat. Sometimes the thermostat gets stuck open, which can cause the temperature gauge to “warm up” slowly, never move back down to operating temperature range, or fluctuate randomly. If the thermostat is not stuck open, it may simply need to be replaced.
What does the temp. gauge measure?
Temperature gauges measure the thermal state of a homogeneous substance . The measuring system must be brought as closely together as possible with the body to be measured. The most widely used measuring methods rely on temperature-dependent physical and material characteristics.
