first off any help is useful.. here we go

i changed out like 3 gauge clusters and thier all doing the same thing, when i start my car from a cold start, the temp gauge goes all the way up to HOT and stays their never comes down untill i shut the car off. what could be the problem? it just started acting like this. bc my first cluster didnt do this.. idont i replaced the thermostate and checked for leaking radiator.. um maybe the temp sensor under the dizzy came off? or the guage alone in 2 clusters are bad? whats the odds of that? is their any fuses i can look for that might have blown? please someone help its pissin me off and i cant find the problem so honda gods pelase help me thanks in advanced .

 

I think its the temp sending unit under the dizzy.

 

That almost sounds like a ground problem. But It could be in the wiring or the guage.

Yup, the sensor is getting grounded out somehow. Check the wiring for breaks and the sensor itself (specs are in teh Helms manual).
