Here in Texas, it was nice yesterday so a few buddies, their wives and us went riding. The Air temp was around 60F. We rode ten miles and stopped for Gas. When leaving the gas station, I noticed that my temp gauge was almost at the red mark. After riding for about 20 minutes, it came back down and stayed just above the center mark. When we would come in to towns and stop at red lights, that gauge would creep back up almost to the red.
When we stopped, I checked the coolant level and it was just below the line. Before riding yesterday, it would run between the 1/4 and 1/2 mark on the temp gauge, and it would only get to 1/2 if I let it idle a while...
So here is my question, I had the gauges out and most of the panels off on Friday while installing my new speakers and my Zumo GPS. Could I have put the guages in wrong or did some thing to cause this? Did not think I could plug them in wrong....
It never went in to "Limp mode" which I assume it would if if gets to hot. Just wanted to get your opinions before taking it to the dealer.
Whats the trick to get to the coolant bottle to add coolant if needed after removing the panel under the frunk?
