Recently had heater hose blowout. No engine overheat or significant coolant loss. It occured after shutdown in the driveway. After hose(s) replaced and coolent topped off the temp gauge now sits at 7:30 o'clock when engine is warm rather than 9 o'clock position where it rested previously. Otherwise the gauge seems to work properly.

When cold it now sits well below the bottom white line whereas before it was just below the bottom white line.

I will say that after the hose blew and soaked the engine compartment with coolant the car would not start until the under the hood wiring harnesses and connectors had been completely dried and connectors treated with contact cleaner.

I am aware of the compensator board issues but why would this occurence cause the compensator board to act up. I suspect the problem is under the hood not in the instrument cluster. Any thoughts from the board?
