Re: temp guage

Either take cluster apart and flip it back- or drill a pin hole in plastic and use a small wire to flip it back.

It happened all the time on my 98 Malibu- usually when replacing battery or jump starting it. I was able to always go in the mileage trip reset hole, and flip it back correctly with a tag wire.
