So I guess my next step is to look at the temperature SENDER or SENSOR, right? Is there any easy way of diagnosing which one of the two is faulty? Guess I'll have to drain the damn coolant again now... aaargh. Tom

The temperature gauge is still not working though. I plan replacing the coolant temperature gauge but need assistance in finding where it is located. Thanks!!
