When I turn on the ignition key the temp gauge pegs to the right...240 degrees plus does that indicate a short in the wiring or something else? Chet445

Hi Chet445
I had exactly the same behaviour (turning of the ignition key made the temperature needle move to the far right (240 degrees). It was a ground. Instead of only one nut behind the left and right stud of the temperature gauge, I had two on each side. So I removed those and cleaned a bit and all of a sudden the gauge worked as it should. And there was a nut behind the top stud of the temperature gauge, that I needed to remove which probable caused the ground.
I started with measuring the resistance of the temperature gauge. The temperature gauge should have around 240 Ohm of resistance, if you check this with a multimeter. Teperature sender should have a resistance of around 0.878 Ohm.
Best regards
