Hey,

I have a strange little electrical gremlin that's bugging the heck outta me and hope someone here can figure it out.

My VDO Temp Gauge reading jumps all the way to the right when I engage any gear (mainly first gear). It would appear to be some sort of grounding issue or something, as I would guess I'm making some sort of metal on metal contact when engaging the gear that is shorting my Temp Gauge reading.

This happens even with my Temp Sensor wire unplugged on the engine side.

Anyone have any ideas where I'm experiencing this short? I took apart part of my center console and the short does not seem to be in the shifter/console area.

Thanks.
