Any way to check H2O temp guage?
Is there way to test the stock water temp guage?
I've been reading lots of posts about overheating... so i just flushed/filled my radiator. Everything seems to be working nicely. My guage has never gone above "normal" which is just below 1/2 way up.
Of course there are countless posts that say :
"your temp guage has 3 positions:
Cold
Normal
Fried Engine"
I dont wanna spend $100+ on an aftermarket guage either...
Thanks for any info

There's a procedure for testing the temp guage on page T-40 (Body Electrical) of the FSM. I believe the S5 temp gauges are basically just three-position indicators, not proper linear gauges. The only way around that is to get an aftermarket one. These come with their own sensor which replaces the stock one.
