Ok, its been a while since i've attacked this - but i wonder if anyone know will be able to shed some light on this.
The temperature gauge in my cinq has never worked since ive had it. It just sits at the bottom, not moving. To attempt to fix this i have done the following:
Replaced the temperature sender in the head, its checked and gives a varying resistance to ground as the temperature varies. Conclusion, it works.
Replaced the temperature and fuel gauges themselves with a known working one.
Replaced the whole instrument cluster with a known working one.
Check the cable running from the gauge to the sender unit, and it was fine. Ran a seperate cable down there too and bypassed it just to be sure.
I cannot think of anything else that would effect it. Ive cleaned and sanded the earth connections under the bonnet - but not the dash earth. Tho i'm having no other electrical problems on the dash, so doubt its that.
I'm at a loss..still.. anyone any ideas?
