the temp gauge needle in my 95 900 bounces between registering a temperature and sitting at flat zero as if the car were turned off. when the needle is at flat zero, sometimes slapping the top of the dash gets it working again (hey, my dad got results doing that on our old tv, so why not try?) all other gauges operate fine. according to the dealer the coolant system is working well otherwise. they tried replacing the temp sensor "sender unit" but that didn't correct the problem. so the dealer wants to get behind the dash and replace the "m.i.u." which i suppose means master instrument unit or something like that. has anyone had any experience with a problem like this? any ideas? all replies greatly appreciated. stuart
