Well got the car started after two years. The OE temp guage isnt working , however the signal is received by the PFC and the Commander. I disconnected the pig tail to see if it was good.It stop registering at the commander. I then plugged it back in and it worked.

Is there some fuse or a connection issue I should hunt for under the dash? I get no signal whatsoever.

I must have this thing working!

Thanks

The stock one is not even close to accurate anyway. When the needle on that starts torise your already way to hot. I personally would not sweat it, just pick up an aftermarket gauge.

Other than that I don't know what to tell you. Pull the cluster and make sure the plugs in the back are in tight.

the wires for the gauges plug into the PFC, the one on the commander is different.



the plug is the small one IIRC, one that is from the body harness, not the engine.



Check and make sure that is all working correctly.
