upon starting my sled this year I noticed that as soon as it started the temperature warning light was on and stayed on and did not flash 3 times like it is supposed to. The engine was cold so there as no way it was overheating I checked coolant level, water pump belt and the temp sensor and everything was ok. So the next day I go out and start it and same this temp warning light was on so I let it idle and warm up for a bit and I noticed that the fuel gauge was reading full then dropping back down to reading the correct amount and at the same time the temp light would go out then come back on even though the sled was barely warm. so I shut it off and turned in back on and the temp light flashed 3 times and went off and the fuel gauge was reading the correct amount of fuel. So my question is does this sound like an issue with the grounds for the circuits either losing continuity or having corrosion causing high resistance?
