Well, Fuel gauge works, horn works, switch illumination works -(notice I'm saving the best for last) - and yes, now the the temp gauge works. It took 3 new gauges from Volvo parts/Atlanta before one arrived with the micro-plastic pin (that stops the needle from disappearing) intact. Apparently when the engine was replaced 50K ago after severe overheating, the old temp sender was used. It had been damaged by the heat (?) and caused erratic readings and eventually shorted and fried the electronics in the gauge.

But I got the last laugh - they installed new dash lighting and the center two bulbs don't work, so they will have to pull the dash again at their expense. Ha! So, my 2nd mortgage is pending and I'm considering changing my middle name to guilable.
