Temperature Gauge - 11/3/2006 10:41:53 PM

The temperature gauge on my 98 Contour is pegged. I have no signs of overheating, coolant levels are good, no telltale smell of overheating. A coworker told me that the problem is likely a bad wiring connection to the gauge or the gauge has failed but not a thermostat issue. Any suggestions?

Bad wiring is a good guess, but it could also be a bad relay or temp sensor. Guages usually are a last resort check.

I looked under Ford TSB for a 1998 Contour and I can not find the below mentioned TSB. Is it located in a different file??
