Temp gauge works sometimes.

[The Green GT]

My temperature gauge has been acting up ever since I blew the fuse for my cluster. It will go about a centimeter past H sometimes and when I pull over to check it, its not even hot. I had my aftermarket white gauges tapped into a wire behind the cluster and I though maybe it was the temp wire so I changed the wire, but it still did it. Sometimes it works fine, and sometimes it will go way up then go back to normal. What do I need to do? Im thinking about getting a radio delete panel and putting a temp, air/fuel, and fuel pressure gauge in it. But I would like to have my stock one work too.

Take out the cluster and look for any signs of a burt up wire behind the cluster...

If nothing there start looking at the wiring... I think that you shorted out a wire and this is allowing for a resistance change that is not from the sensor.

No burnt wires. Last night it ws at about 4 o'clock. WAYYY past H. I think maybve the rehostat is messed up?
EDIT: I get kind of nervous when my temp gauge does what its doing in the pic below.

Is it only the temp guage?

Have you tried cahnging the temp snesor? they are only like $15 and take a couple minutes to change. No need to drain coolant if you are fast enough...

Well, now the gas gauge is messing up. It will stop where it is . When the temp gauge just decides to randomly start working, the gas gauge will start working also. Im thinking it might be something with that side of the cluster.

When I turn the key on should the temp and fuel gauge wires be hot? Cause they arent.

Ok, when I was putting it back in the temp gauge and gas gauge werent working so I stuck my hand back behind the cluster and just moved a bunch of the wires around and the gauges went to the correct position.

I checked the wires and the two for these gauges dont have any cuts or anything.

UPDATE: I drove it last night and the speedo wasnt working at first but I was mad and kind of hit the dash and the speedo slowly started working. Later that night the temp gauge just decided to go to H

Does anyone know what I should do? Im about to just individually tape up every singe wire. It seems like they are getting "interference" from other wires.
