1997 3.8 temp gauge stuck on hot

[Hulce211]

My temp gauge is stuck all the way over on hot even with the key off. I inherited this car and looks like it has had some cooling issues in the past. I need to flush the cooling system as well its super dirty but it looks like the valve is busted? This is the kind of car that takes one step forward and 2 back where should I start?

IF the Cluster Dash temperature gauge is stuck on HOT even with the key off, IMO the problem is in the cluster gauge itself.


My odometer goes on and off?

My odometer goes on and off?

I've notice that my odometer on my '02 mustang has been going on and off at anytime. I started to see this when my car reached 90K. I also have a '99 F-150 that stared when it reached 90K also now has 102k. Has anyone else had this problem with any mustangs out there?:headscratch:
