Temp gauge on digital dash.

Is the definitive temp gauge fix, the same for the digital dash?

I tried changing my air filter once. When I finally got the box open a family of squirrels
jumped out and attacked me. I never got my car back, they guarded it with their life so
I ended up selling it. Now whenever I have to change anything on my car, I just buy a
new one

No, the "definitive temp gauge fix" won't be the same for the digital gauges as it is for the regular analog gauges.

That thread references a broken wire in one of the coils that is used to move the needle up and down. A digital gauge won't have those coils of wire in it.

However, you may still have a bad connection somewhere.

What exactly is wrong with your temperature gauge?

I have never personally worked on one of those, I really can't point you to a common area to look, but someone else here might.

it doesn't move it is lit up but just sets in the very bottom position
I do have a working after market gauge that is analog... maybe they changed the sending unit? But, I'd assume the po did that because the digital wasn't working.
