Temp needle has stopped working

[maz1]

My temp needle has just stopped working. Anyone know what it could possibly be?

Thanks

well it could be your temp switch on the side of the head under the inlet. Its a single pin plug and its the one towards the bulkhead. It could also be your clocks, the blue connector is alittle twitchy on mine, try your switch first. Test the wire leeading to it with a test light the see if its live.

Or the earth nuts on the back of the gauge - does the gauge flicker back into life if you give the dash a good thump? If so, it's almost certain that they just need nipping back up.

no its completely dead... i will look into it tomorrow.

I tried nipping the nut up even took it apart and cleaned the contact but still flicky.
I need new clocks i think or i have a dry joint. Still try yours and see what happens

New cluster or gauge.
I have a spare temp gauge.
