I recently installed a autometer ultralite mechanical water temp gauge in my car, I started it up the other day and let it run and I noticed the gauge didnt move at all. So I thought I had messed up the line during the install or there was air around the gauge or something else that was a freak of nature had happened. So I unscrewed it from its adapter and everything looked fine, so I took a lighter and held it under the probe and sure enough the gauge worked fine. Put it back in and tightened it all down, let the car run again, gauge never moved. Anyone have any ideas on why the gauge doesnt want to work with the probe in coolant but it read fine when it had heat going to it outside?
Also, when I turn the car off the voltmeter on the stock cluster only goes down to about half way on the gauge and stops. When I turn the car on the gauge pegs out, it never has done that before. The stock water temp gauge also is half way up and I dont even have it hooked up anymore? Guess I got the gauge gremlins. Thanks
