My temperature gauge will sometimes quit working while driving. The check engine light does not come on when this happens. All I have to do to get it to start working again is turn the car off and restart and it works again. This does not happen every time I drive, but is happening more often than it used to.

Hello,

It sounds like the cluster is going out, I would try a used or rebuilt one. Here is a video of the job being done with diagrams below to show you on your car:

You may need to get it programmed if you get a new unit should cost about $130.00 at a shop.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
