Wont work for months then works for a few weekend drives and then nothing again. I have changed the sending unit and felt around for a loose connection. I am not electrically inclined at all and can't figure this one out. My engine is a 235 if that helps. Is it a bad connection? Its gotten to be kind of funny when my daughters get in the cab for a ride. We all check to see if Mr Temp Gauge will work this time! Help please. | | |

They will be pricey. You have a good chance of locating entire guage clusters on ebay and at swap meets but there you take the chance if the guages are working or not. Put an ad on the swap board and see what happens.
