The gauge moves correctly, goes past the red light location to about 1 o'clock but then settle back to just past the centre location and stays there even on a long drive.
newkid - if you are confident that the needle is working correctly then the only real source of the problem can be the light and/or the light circuitry in the gauge (which tends to end up being that the capacitor is not working in the light circuitry - the capacitor is the component that is responsible for flashing the LED when you first turn on the ignition); Does the LED flash if you pull the plug out of the coolant level sensor?

How do I check for the 10volts?
Anything else I can try?
ChrisTriple - What's the actual problem that you are seeing?
What happened when you tried a known good dash?
P.S. Maybe start a new thread!
The only problem is the red flashy light won't stop flashing.
With the known good dash it was exactly the same as my dash. So I can rule out the gauge/dash out of the problem
