Hello All:
I have an 89 XR7 with 55K miles. I am having a weird problem with the temp gauge. The
previous one was broken (along with the anti-slosh module). I got a used dash from another
XR7 from ebay. My mechanic put the ebay gauge and anti-slosh module in. The problem
is when I drive the car around the city for about 45 minutes, the gauge will reach right
towards the middle or better (around the RM part of NORM). Then the CHECK GAGES light
will come on. It is only reproduceable on longer drives as the car has a chance to really heat
up. Is the new gauge right? Is my car running too hot? Is the cooling system not keeping pace?
What do your temperature gauges show? The problem seems to be worse if I don't use the air
conditioning. I suspect it is related to the dual-speed fan. Can the CHECK GAGES light be
disabled?
Thanks,
T W
