Coolant Temperature Gauge Not Working
 

I'll start by asking forgiveness for my ignorance but thought I'd ask here first before going to the dealer.

My coolant temerature gauge simply stopped working. Is there a fuse for it???? I looked but couldn't find one. :confused: Is it a sensor that needs to be replaced??

Two other odd things I noticed at the same time are my parking brake light and low fuel light also no longer work. Could they all be related?? :rolleyes2 It's a very odd coincidence if not ... anyone ever have this happen?? ever heard of it??

Any help/direction greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron

Usually all the instruments are on a single fuse, but I don't know off the top of my head on that car.

Check the fuses -- if they are the old "bullet" ceramic ones, consider replacing them all as they corrode and fatigue -- the actual fuse link is aluminum, and it will fatigue crack across. Looks fine until you take it out when it falls apart.

If the fuse is bad, you also likely don't have fuel or temp guages, either, and on the W124, no brake lights!
