[C320-list] Temperature and fuel gauge

[Rick Sulewski]

Hi Jim,

I noticed this weekend that I have the same condition with my temperature
gauge after I left the marina. I removed the thermostat before continuing on
to ensure that I did not have an overheating situation I could avoid.

 My fuel gauge registers empty and I replaced the sender this spring, but
that did not prove to be helpful. Now I just top off the fuel tank and keep
track of the engine hours before the next fill-up.

I may pull the instrument panel cover this week to see if I may find a loose
ground connection that may be related to both gauges before I consider
replacing the gauges.

Anyone out there have other options for us to consider?

Thanks.

The temp and fuel gauges on my 2000 C320 are both pegged at max temp and
full fuel. Engine temp seems fine and I know I only have 1/2 tank of fuel.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?
