Well I figure out the vent problem from before now this. I check my voltage and i does not get below 14 no matter what. I took out my gauges cluster and everything was hooked up fine. It goes directly to the wiring harness so I am trying not to dig it that yet. I put my voltmeter on all the connections on the right clip and only got on hot. I check all my fuses and they were fine. Is there a relay that possibly is bad? BTW I have a 2000 svt. Once again any suggestions are welcome. Thanks joe. 2000 svt contour 1996 oldsmobile eighty-eight

Check if the wiring is loose or corroded. Here is a post from Chongo. It highlights the ECT sensor. The coolant temp gauge sender is the bronze (??) looking thing below the "Co" from the word coolant. Is that what you are talking about as the sender unit. If it is then if you do it real fast, unscrew and then plug (and screw) in the new one right away, you probably can get away with not having to drain the cooling system (according to Haynes). Haynes suggest to release the pressure by removing the coolant tank cap and then reinstalling the cap back (when the engine and coolant is completely cool). Hope this helps. http://www.contour.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=trouble&Number=983852&Forum=trouble&Words=chongo&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=983239&Search=true#Post983852 Last edited by Tony2005; 07/14/06 09:27 PM.
