Honda Accord 94
My temperature gauge on the dash board is acting weird.
It will not ever go to the normal temp area it kinda stays halfway up after the car is been working for a while and will stay there for some time then will drop down to zero even with the car still driving and go back halfway up and so on!
Thank you!

Hi there,

I would check that the terminal to the temp sender is tight & clean, if thats ok replace the sender as these are the most common cause for your problem.

Check that the temperature sender terminal is tight and clean. If the connection is good, replace the temperature sender, the most common cause of this gauge behavior.
