Temp Gauge doesn't move
I have an 02 Lancer OZ who's Temp gauge doesn't move. The car heats up and the actual theromostat opens and closes as normal. The gauge just sits on the cold side even though the heat is on and kicking.
I pulled the cluster and looked on the backside of the gauges but there doesn't appear to be any loose wires or broken connections. Does anyone have any ideas as to why the temp gauge wouldn't move?
Any help would be ... well helpful.

If its just the little tab off the sensor you can use an alligator clip and flatten the end where you would put a wire that way you can slip the wiring harness conector right on without issue. I have had mine like that for about a year now. Only reason I dont get a new sensor though is it would just break again due to the postion of my IC piping.
