Dashbord fault, Quite a common fault, try resetting it by diconnecting and reconnecting the battery, this usualy works.
Good luck Davelee

I had my Alternator changed yesterday on a Ford escort gti. The battery light was on and temp gauge was stuck past hot. Once changed all was fine but today I started it up and temp gauge is stuck past hot...

The temp gauge and battery light issues may not have been related.
The gauge reads high when the circuit to the temp sending unit is grounded. It could be the gauge on the dash, or a wiring problem, or the temp sending unit on the engine.

99 mercury cougar v6 2.5L, temp gauge is reading hot after thermostat change why? is it a air bubble or is it a bad temp. sending unit? any other ideas? please help

May be a defective thermostat or place in the wrong direction. If it's properly installed, might want to check the fan operation which may be producing the overheating.
If fan is good, one way to remove air in the coolant system is to run vehicle while all heaters on. take extra coolant and stop along the way to top off if needed. While driving, keep listening for the fan to begin running when vehicle reaches high temperatures.
If you continue to experience overheating, may want to take to a local known repair shop for further troubleshooting.

Code P0500 Speedometer doesn't work on my Toyota Tundra

Hi Coritter, Depending on the year of manufacture of your vehicle, the speed control could be related to the ABS pickup sensors mounted on the wheels. Modern vehicles manufactures tend to double up on functions and therefore a fault seemingly unrelated can be. Have a full scan carried out. If you drive a manual shift you could be lucky, because on an auto box the same speed sensors control the gear change. Regards John

I've recently bought a Toyota Yaris T3 D4D 2005 plate. There was no manual with the car so I'm having problems finding my way around the engine! (have one on order). I have a blue temp gauge light?...

Hi Christine, the blue temp light is telling you that the motor is cold, it will go off once the engine has warmed up, nothing to worry about as it is normal, you will notice that it does not have a temperature gauge like some other cars, that is why they have the light, if the red temp light goes on switch the vehicle off immediately, this is telling you that it is overheating, they are very good cars, my father has one, enjoy :)

1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager.........Dashboard instruments quit working and don't light up. Speedo, tach, fuel gauge, temp gauge, and mileage indicators and lights for same stopped working. ABS...

You have some wiring problems shorting out that is coming from the dash board so if you or anyone you know how to use a multimeter to check the wireing harnesses plus check any connectors that might be just very touching the connector of dashboard which means a bad connection to dashboard.

WHILE DRIVING OVER BUMPS TACH, SPEEDO,TEMP GAUGE, STOP WORKING, BATTERY WARNING LIGHT COMES ON ANY IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING?

This sounds like a bad connection on the battery. Check that both cables are tight and not corroded especially the ground.
