Hello all,
I have a question with troubleshooting my temp guage. This is for a 1980 FJ40 stock 2F. The other day my temp was higher than the previous day. It was at the 3/4 mark and the guage in the vehicle only has C, 3/4, and H. No signs of overheating just the needle being higher than normal. It did this for about a day and then the next evening with the engine cold the needle went straight to H on start up. Now every time I start it goes to 3/4 and then to H within 2 min.
I removed the cluster and cleaned the contacts and terminals and it still does the same thing. Could my water temp sending unit be bad or something else. All other guages work fine and again no overheating problems.
Any advice would help.
