The temp gage on my 4 cyl '98 Accord LX is stuck in the middle of the gauge between C & H. The needle never moves from this position regardless of engine temp. The car just turned 100,000 miles this weekend which has me hoping to get another 200,000 miles out of this if posssible. Needless to say I'm paranoid about driving this with the gauge not working at all. I picked up a Chiltons book & tried jumping out the yellow/green wire for the sending unit to get the gauge to move. The needle did not move when the yellow/green wire was grounded. I have looked in all 3 fuse panel locations but cannot find which fuse in which location is for the temp gauge. If the fuse is good, is the next step to replace the gauge panel ? I'd rather install an aftermarket mech temp gauge before spending a large sum of $$$ on this. Any suggestions ? Thanks. Dave
