Hi, my temperature gauge only works sometimes and I don't know what to do. It never reads hot it just doesn't work all the time. What should I do?

Good afternoon,

The coolant temperature switch is the controlling sensor for sending a signal to the cluster for the engine temperature. I would suspect that it is filing and I would replace it.

I attached the procedure below for you.
