Temp gauge not working 200 1987

I've got a 1987 240 DL wagon with a temperature gauge that is not working most of the time. Sometimes it will register, but only for a short while. I guess I need to know where it is getting its temperature reading from so I can check for a problem with the connection. Any ideas on how to fix this problem is welcome.

    I used the IPD bypass kit on my 91 240 a couple weekends ago - had the same symptoms you did. Here is the link:

    The temp compensation board apparently fails fairly often. Took about 30 minutes to do the bypass. There is little to the part - but the instructions are worth the $15 or so. Call them and they'll probably drop it in an envelope w/ no shipping.

    Good luck!

    look in the FAQs (good for many 240 things, too) and the archives for repair and/or bypass instructions.

    Good Luck,
