    Water Temp Gauge Issue

    Fixed!!! "One man's junk is another man's pleasure" That indeed is the best saying ever. Went to the local junk yard and picked up two temp gauges from 1995 Ford Explorers that worked like a charm in my 1996 Cobra. Gauges were exactly alike and the gauges even had the same diode on the...

    Water Temp Gauge Issue

    tonytaylor85; Thank you for the ohm readings, but what am I supposed to test? Should I put the ohm tester on switch, sensor or connectors to them? Am I correct in stating that the switch that is located on the right when looking at the motor is the part that controls the temp gauge itself...

    Water Temp Gauge Issue

    ok everyone. I have changed the sensor and the switch at this point and the temperature gauge needle is still buried to the left on the gauge. At one point in time, the gauge was working fine, so I am hesitant to think that the gauge is bad. Are there electrical tests that i can run on the...

    Water Temp Gauge Issue

    Needle on water temp gauge in dash cluster is always buried to the left showing COLD. Does the temp. sensor on the left of the motor (two wire connector) need to be replaced or does the temp switch on the right of the motor (single Red/White wire) need to be replaced? If I wanted to test the...

    96 Cobra

    Just got the cobra lowered with Ford Racing "G" springs. What a world of difference this has made with the suspension and driving experience. Dropped the car about 3/4 of an inch all the way around so far, but should I expect it to drop further? Also added BBK cast/camber as well. Question...
