crazy temperature gauge - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My temperature gauge doesn't work...usually it bounces around all over.  It was like this when I got the car, and I don't know if the previous owner tampered with anything.  Got any idea what could be wrong with it?
It's not that big a deal, but it does get annoying seeing that thing bounce around out of the corner of my eye.

an after market gauge wont fix it.... and I'm not too sure how to fix it. The dealer will charge you an arm and a leg so look on Ebay for an used s13 Console.
