- Sat Dec 07, 2013 12:36 pm #339755 Hi civic-eg, the temperature gauge on my dx sedan is not working, even after an hour of driving, the gauge still won't go up.

After inspecting my engine, I found a piece of wire with an open tip near the transmission area. When I let it touch any part of the engine, the temp gauge would shoot-up to the very top, but it would return to the bottom, after removing contact.

I know the wire is attached to a temperature sensor or something, only thing is, I don't know where. Can you help me? Thanks

At first, I just thought the slightly cold weather of the rainy evening was just causing this. But when I drove it on a hot-Manila daytime weather and still the gauge wouln't go up, I knew something was wrong. True-enough, I found out that the wire I saw was connected to the temperature sensor, and I was able to splice the wire back.

Thanks.

This never happens to any of my other Hondas. Every eg I had does this tho..

Now it's working just fine.
