    Re: temp guage

    well ran car again tonight and left it ran longer and the temp guage works.and for some reason my dash now work.the only things that don't seem to work is the one headlight won't open or close not the motor cuase i hooked bat power to motor and it opened and closed.so it's must wiring or connection problem ,and the brake light in the car pic stays on when i push brake peddle so i think it's the brake light switch.other than that it seems good.

    Re: temp guage

    are you missing your third brake light? my car does that. The light in the dash will stay on, because I don't have that third light. also, did you check the fuse for the headlight motor? don't forget to check that one at least twice before you start screwing around with wires. It'll save a lot of headaches. Trust me. lol.

    what the good man above me said
    and also if that dose not work try replaceing the switch on the dash for the headlights to go up sometimes they go out and will make ether one or both headlights to not go up

    Re: temp guage

    hmm... I have no idea what's wrong with the headlight motor. I guess that it must be bad wiring somewhere, but you probably already guessed as much. Maybe it's a bad motor? As for the dash brake light thing. Removing your third brake light would be the reason that the dash light is on.
