outside temp indicator light on 95 sport 90q

[Todd Young]

Temp display is blank, or the bulb burnt out?

Temp display is easy to get to.
Remove upper portion of steering column plastic.
Remove two screws exposed.
Pull gage cluster outward a bit.
Disconnect 4 (I think) connectors.
Wiggle/contort to get gage cluster out from behind steering wheel.
Temp display is fastened to the bottom of the gage cluster by two
screws.
If the bulb is burnt out, it can be replaced.
Buy 60mA, 12volt bulb at Radio Shack.
Disassemble temp display (pay attention to little rubber thingies, they
are electrical conductors between the PCboard and the LCD display).
Remove old bulb, solder in new bulb.

REassemble.
Done.
