Went out for a 15 minute errand round trip didn't pay attention to the temp gauge but when I pulled into the driveway I noticed the temp needle was pegged at the lowest it will sit.
It showed no signs of actually overheating as well.
Shut down engine and I tried cycling the key to see if the gauge will work again and nothing, tried cranking and it just cranked away without firing for a couple seconds.
Went inside tried researching and about 5 minutes later went out, gauge worked immediately when key in on position and jeep fired right up first crank and every attempt thereafter.
Threw no codes in the obd reader, haven't done anything recently that should affect any of these systems, put ~2in lift and lowered tcase 5/8", but I drove that for almost two weeks before this event.
What I'm wondering is does the temp gauge sensor not working interrupt starting somehow? Or if anyone has knowledge of these symptoms and what they could mean?
Thank you.
