You should have started a new thread. Your issue has nothing to do with the the issue that is addressd in this thread. To answer your questions, the first thing I would do is unplug both fans and inspect the plugs for corrosion or other degradation. A common problem on the Equinox is that the plugs going to the cooling fans develop a bad connection over time which eventually causes excessive heat and warps the plug. It can get bad enough that the fans won't work because the current can't pass through the weak connection.

Before replacing the cluster try pulling the fuse. My fuel gauge went crazy on me for a while. After pulling the fuse for about 30 seconds, I put in back in and now everything is fine.

I too have an 07 Equinox with a faulty reading Temp gauge. The needle is all the way over to the right side of the gauge, opposite of where it should be. I replaced the ECT sensor trying to fix the cooling fan problem which turned out to be the fan connector being loose. Now there is a low popping type noise coming from the back part of the engine. Has anyone had this popping noise problem?

An OEM coolant temp sensor for your car is GM p/n 12608814 and runs about $30 from your local stealership. You can also use Wells p/n SU112 which runs about $22 from your local AutoZone, but you will need the part number as the parts guy will not be able to look it up. However, that OEM p/n 12608814 does cross reference to SU112 so it is correct.

This part should take less then 10 minutes to replace, and it is it cheap enough that it is worth a shot.

Good luck

It probably is the problem, but I can't guarantee that without further troubleshooting & testing. You can just replace the sensor if you want because they are really cheap and usually not hard to replace.

I have replaced every part that you can think of and the needle still functions incorrectly. Stays down all the way usually. Every once in a while it will work properly. I have no idea what to do!
