I have a 96 and the temp. gauge had been working fine up until 2 days ago. The problem is that the gauge has went all the way to the left now. It was working fine and then all of a sudden this. What could it be?????? Is there a fuse that runs the unit or could it be that the whole thing may have just went out?

My temp gauge worked for not even the first two days after I bought the car I still haven't changed it but I figure it's just a relay came loose or my other theory is that like most cars it just doesn't work so unless you are really worried about overheating or your running a high performance engine don't worry to much.
