Re: [DML] Temperature Guage help

["Eric Itzel" <eric@xxxx>]

Hey James

A problem very similar to yours happened to me a few months ago. The last
thing I did before my gauge went wacky was to free the passageway from the
floor vent where the carpet was blocking it.

My gauge was off for about a week, then it healed itself. It hasn't done it
since (until, of course, I sit back down in my car after I type this
message!).

I'm curious about this too, and would like to know what to do if it happens
to me again.

Thanks
