the temperature gauge will get stuck sometimes. I can reset the gauge by removing one of the fuses in the fuse panel that's located near the driver door. This fix doesn't work sometimes though. I just leave the fuse intact and wait for a while( maybe 1 hour or more) and i can reset it back to zero temp. Can anybody tell me what the problem is with this thing?
