04 Saturn Vue Temp Gauge

I had to jump my 04 Vue. After that the temp gauge stopped working.
The fuse in the cab is for the whole instrument panel and not for the individual gauges.
Any help will be appreciated.

    I am assuming that the extra amperage has done the gauge in itself.If you can find the sending unit in the engine,remove the plug in.If it is a one wire plug,ground the plug with key on.This will make the gauge move.This will tell you if it is the sending unit or not.If it does nothing,then the gauge is bad.If it moves,then the sending unit is bad.

    a safer way is using the multimeter to the connection on the back of the gauge, by checking for ohms. if u get ohms then u know its the wiring. but first chech the fuse box under the hood called the ECM

Is it a fuse or relay that powers the instrument control panel in 2005 Saturn?

Instrument cluster gauge problem not fuse or relay . GM had bad stepper motor's inside the cluster that drives the gauges . 2003 to 2006 . You have to have it sent out to be fixed , unless you know how to solder electronic componets.

My cars gauges just stopped working last weekend.

Could be a fuse. Have somebody who knows about cars look at the instrument cluster fuse to see if the wire inside is broken.

My 2003 Saturn VUE is saying that I'm over-heating (both the warning light stays on, and the gauge stay pegged hot) even after my car has been sitting in the driveway for 2-3 days (or longer). There is not...

i'd change the engine temperature sender unit , or just disconnect it for a while and see if the gauge symptoms disappear , if they do then change the temp sender unit,if the symptoms remain i'd say get the OBD codes read as may have a faulty dash component

Guages not working,

If all voltages checked ok,then most probably its faulty instrument cluster board on which gauges are connected.Yes if cluster circuit board looks ok,then also it can be faulty.Somewhere there is minute short or burn on board then such prolem arises.
Also check the fuse box.One under hood and other under dash.Inspect each and every fuse and see if all are fine or not.

No guages working

If all voltages checked ok, then most probably its faulty instrument cluster board on which gauges are connected. Yes if cluster circuit board looks ok, then also it can be faulty. Somewhere there is minute short or burn on board then such problem arises.


Also check the fuse box. One under hood and other under dash.

Inspect each and every fuse and see if all are fine or not.

My temp gauge stopped working, how can I figure

it is most likly a burnt out fuse, or the whole instrument cluster is shot. that happened to my 2002 impala. all gauges froze, and nothing worked. I would check the fuse first before replacing the entire cluster. Best of luck

Air conditioner, fuel gauge, and temp gauge all stopped working at the same time

Three possibilities;
All related to blown fuses,

1- Fuse blown in the engine compartment LH.
2- Fuse blown in the cabin forward LH below the dashboard (below your legs left hand).
3- Fuse blown in the harness (wire bundles) below the dashboard very easy to reach with your hands “just look underneath steering wheel ".

U said " The air conditioner blows, but the air is not cold.
" Yes only the fan working which might receiving power independent all from those other mentioned things.
If all fuses OK. Then look for broken wires.

Fuel gauge, temp gauge, and auto door locks stopped working while in transit. checked obvious fuses, found no problems. did not check all fuses. Ideas

I had a similar problem with a 2001 Saturn. We checked every fuse and they were all fine. We finally did a 'reset' on the car's computer by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it a few minutes later. Everything was back to normal after that.
