85 5000S temp gauge.help

[Marty Hadden]

I believe the temp gauge gets its input from the multi-function sender on 
all the 84-88 5Ks.. just replaced mine three weeks ago, and gauge works now, 
but it didn't fix my A/C problem (no cold air, no compressor spin).  The 
floor vents sound like a problem with the flaps in your heater box (possibly 
the programmer), or the seal between the bottom of the heater box and the 
center console.

Hope this Helps,
