Hi all,
I noticed today that my temperature gauge was still stuck at 170, which is probably the temp when I turned the engine off four days ago. Usually, when I turn my key to the off position all the gauges goes to the "0" setting. I was able to return the temp guage to "0" by turning the key one click to the right and back to the off position. Is it commom for gauges to be stuck in this manner? Is this a minor fix?

Re: temp gauge

Some gauges "float" when the key is turned off. They stay where they were when last run. When the key is then turned on again the meter should go to the low end of the scale. If it doesn't something is wrong.
