Temp gauge not working

[thumperslaw]

For some reason mine is not working

Any idea what it could be

98 storm

Possibly could have just broken?

Replacements are only a tenner on fleaBay

The way to test the gauge is to remove the push on connector @ the thermostat housing and touch it to ground (earth) and turn on the key.

The gauge should go full hot for analog or flash 270 (I believe) on a digital gauge.

One caution is don't let the gauge sit pegged. Remove to power (either turn the key off or pull the wire) as soon as it checks out as to not damage the gauge.

Fitted switch because i am fed up of it not coming on till it's about half way

After that it comes away from the peg when turned on but does not go any further then that
