Very true as the sensors live in the harshest environments, but I've replaced the water temp (which was replaced as well by the previous owner), oil pressure and the speedometer over the years. Sometimes, they just get too old to run anymore.

P.S. At least these components lasted for a couple of decades at least. I'm going through a run of things crapping out on me recently - external hard drive: 2 years old and dead, window air conditioner: 4 years old and dead, etc... Ugghh.

My guess it's the sensor not the gauge 
Does the gauge move at all?
If so that's your answer, it's the sensor

My water temp gauge has not worked for a while, and as long as I have sorted out the other 308 temp issues, I may as well knock that one off also.

 

I need to determine if it is the pickup or the gauge

 

Thus-

1)      If I pull and short the temp thermistor(I assume it is a thermistor??) leads what should the gauge do?  Full max or full min?

Other quick tips/tricks to determine which is bad??

 

Thank goodness the wiring doesn’t go through the fuse block…..
