Re: heat gauge not working
Is the oil pressure gauge working? They have the same power source. If it is then you have eliminated that as a possible source of trouble. Need to ground the temp sender wire and see if the gauge responds. If nothing then I'd pull the cluster out for inspection.

Re: heat gauge not working
So does your oil pressure gauge work?

Re: heat gauge not working
Sorry for jumping in here. I have the same problem and both heat and oil gauges not working. Where is the power source for both these gauges?
I didn't know they had common power source.

The power for both gauges comes from the instrument cluster voltage regulator. There should be a pulsing voltage coming out of it and averaging around 5 volts I think. You should have this voltage at 30 A and 30 B with the key on.
