temp gauge

[Soma576@xxxx]

Hey all,

many thanks for all of the answers to my questions so far. here's a new one 
for you:

my temp gauge is stuck. yes. it is stuck at 140, i think. ever since i 
bought the car, the temp gauge has been in this position, and that's a little 
scary. when you turn the key it doesn't move, and after you've been driving 
for a while it doesn't move. a previous owner told me that the gauge was a 
little sketchy for him also but his mechanic found some exposed wires and it 
magically worked again. but it has never worked for me.

does this make any sense? i would think that exposed wires would cause the 
needle to just rest at 0 instead of staying at a position higher up. if this 
has happened to anyone else, let me know what you did to fix it!

Andy
