Tempeture gauge does not work on truck would the temp sensor be the culprit not really sure And where would it be located .:confused:

Hey, The temp sensor should be right up near the thermostat housing. I doubt it is the sensor though but maybe the connection. I have had to repair that plug on more than one 2.8L

I noticed you posted a lot of problems with this 2.8's dash, did it all happen at once?

yes it seems everything happens at once i guess but i love this truck i will check connection Thanks Bob

Did anything happen to it or did you just come out one day and it's out?

I have had to replace a dash cluster on a 85 because the printed film that had the wire printed on it (like a circuit board) was shot. I was getting flickering gauges, no dash lights, sometimes, out of nowhere the dash lights would just come one.

Just a thought.

it has never worked since i have owned truck. i have only owned truck for about a month. i am just trying to figure it out i have looked at wires , fuses i am stumped..

It's hard to say what it could be. But the dash cluster itself is a possibility. It is not too awful hard to take out to inspect.

I cleaned connections and bought a new sending switch it works fine now thanks for help Syke.
