After seeing all the coolant gauage problems on recent threads, my 
coolant gauage didn't work this morning.  It just "died".  No 
movement at all.

However, after an hour sitting in the parking lot, I started the car 
up, the gauage worked again, ie, without anything being done by 
anyone.  In fact the hood has not been lifted.

These are classic symptoms of a bad sensor.  You need a new multi-function
switch.  It will run you around $100 at the dealer, but you could probably
mail order it for $60 or so.  Make sure, however, you order the right one.
There are two versions: early are 3-pin and late are 4-pin.
