Default Bad temp gauge -or- Si/DX signal different?

Guys,

Anybody had a temp. gauge problem swapping an Si/Ex cluster into a DX - i.e. the temp gauge pegs at HOT 100% of the time? (when stone cold it says full cold but cranks back to H within like 30 seconds)

I assumed you could simply swap the clusters out (I did put my DX speedo/odo pod in the Si cluster with no problem), and the individual gauges should have just worked correctly.

Is the Si temp gauge expecting a different signal than that of a DX? Or is the gauge from my Si/Ex cluster defective?

Thanks

As I said in PM (to reiterate here), I think this is a bad gauge. I personally have swapped an EX cluster in my DX without having to wire anything and everything worked perfectly. If your old gauge was working properly then my guess is the gauge and not the sending unit. jmo

yep the clusters are 100% plug and play.
you have a faulty temp gauge or a bad connection to the temp gauge in the cluster.
