Default Cooling Problems

I've swapped in a Zc and my temp. guage doesn't seem to be working. I think it's overheating, but I can't tell for sure cause the guage doesn't work. When I let it warm up, I turned on the heater to full blast on hot, and it was barely warm air. Is it the thermostat??? or something else??? Oh, and the fan never turned on in all of this, but I jumped the connection for the fan switch, and the fan worked.

When your car is turned on, and has been on for a little bit.. Put your hand on the top radiator hose, if it's cold that means your thermostat isn't opening and it will need to be replaced. Also, if you can, try swapping another cluster in there to make sure it's not a faulty cluster.

i know the temperature gauge worked before I swapped the motor. And I'm almost sure that the upper hose was hot, cause i had touched it earlier today.
