On 5/13 I asked a question concerning the possible effects of these powerful magnets. Sooo, even if flipping one or more of the magnets works for you in getting your gauge reading correctly again, then it'll be because you've stopped the creation of or minimised the strength of the magnetic field that allowed the wires moving in it to create the micro current which ADDS to the temp reading but you still haven't necessarily removed the loose or close & moving wiring that allowed it to be created in the first place and if your gauge is reading LOW, then I believe that there's likely to be something else in there shorting or using current - AND THAT NEEDS RECTIFYING! This won't make the gauge reading LESS because AFAIK you can't induce a 'subtractive current' or take electricity from a circuit thru passing a moving wire thru a magnetic field unless it's shorting or being used somewhere else! MOST IMPORTANTLY, those wires MUST have enough slack in the loom/their fastening to allow them to move, which might create a micro current which can only ADD to the gauge reading! there needs to be a compromised solder joint or weak insulation on those wires close to the mirror mounts &ģ). the wires need to be closer to the inside of the mirror mounts than they should be Ģ). I could not figure out why temp was reading low.Danz, I doubt very much that a temp gauge reading LOW should be attributed to the Magnets!! The reason being that, while a few temp gauges might read HIGH because there may be loose or close wires in the loom inside the dash cavity, AFAIK they MUST satisfy the following conditions for this to occur:ġ). Later, when I added the rack on on top I started using it to lift the lid.Thank. Until I did this I seriously considered putting a handle on the lid to lift it open. There's enough force in the spring as it wants to straighten out to lift the lid enough to get my fingers under the edge and lift it when I pull the latch. When I close and latch the lid the spring between the catches is pushed upward by the block on the trunk ledge. Here are a couple of pics of what I did so the lid would pop open some when the latch is pulled. The strut actually helps to keep the lid closed. When the lid is closed the connection of the strut to the lid is either at or slightly forward of the centerline between the lid hinge pivot point and the bottom mount of the strut. The reason is the way the linkage is designed.

Safecracker, is this strut strong enough to open the trunk as soon as you pull the latch?I'm not Safecracker but I'll answer! No strut will pop the lid open when you pull the latch.
