Correction it was the Coolant Temp Sender. it controls my gauge. the coolant level is full and I have not yet gotten it tested for a light code. After i replaced the Sender unit I drove it for about 2 miles when the temp gauge maxed out and the light came on. Could it be my thermostat or could the new sending unit be faulty?
