Disconnecting the single wire will only make the gauge read "cold". If you disconnect it and short it to ground you will "peg" the needle in the hot zone and cause the LED to flash. It may take a few seconds to react.

Thanks Ken, That info helped me too. Although the guage still won't work. I think I need to replace the sensor. At least I know the wireing and the dash guage works. Do you know if this test/fix will also work with the fuel sensor? I have a 87' syncro without the tach. So my temp and fuel guages are on the right side of the instrument cluster. I've heard various techniques from pulling the tank, to working from inside the wheel well.

Thanks Erik
