Hi Guys,

I installed a new thermostat today and as I knew my old one had stuck open ( a common teg problem) as the gauge would read C when I drive and warms up a little when I stop. Anyway, I have installed a genuine Honda thermostat and now the gauge in the instrument cluster is not moving at all. It sits on C. I've let the car idle for over 15mins and drove it around a bit, the radiator fans go on, everything looks fine it's just the temp gauge not moving... Can someone help?

Cheers.

If its reads 0 degrees and your fan is switching on. I think its safe to say theres something wrong with the gauge/sender/wiring. Old thermostat was prol working fine.

How do I find out if its wrong? The old thermostat had all the typical symptoms people mentioned about in the sticky. So I decided to change it and now the temp gauge won't move at all
