Hi,

Has the temperature gauge been modified by taking out the compensation board from inside the instrument cluster?
It causes wired readings when nothing is wrong.

The modification involves removing the cluster and taking the backside off. The complete board unplugs leaving five pins showing. You take a snip of small wire and jumper pins one and three together.
I soldered mine but you can make up slip on ends if you can find small terminals. That’s the hard part unless you buy a kit from IPD for like $10 with some instructions.
I have never gone that route and don’t know how good they are? Simple may have been kept simple?

Go here to see a real good explanation and the know how!
