DSL6830 Posted December 1, 2024 Report Share Posted December 1, 2024 While driving, sometimes at random, my 07 edge Oil temperature will drop to cold, and a grinding noise will start and get worse and then stop. After it stops, the oil hits the temperature. I think it might be the timing chain. The thermostat has been replaced in the past 6 months.

enigma-2 Posted December 1, 2024 Report Share Posted December 1, 2024 Believe you meant your "coolant temperature gauge" inasmuch as the 07 didn't have an oil temp gauge. To me, it sounds like a bad wiring connector at the temp sensor, or bad wiring that goes to the sensor. Sit the wifepo or kids in the drivers seat and wiggle the wires going to the sensor. If it changes, you've isolated your culprit. With the grinding that accompanies the drop, only thing that comes to mind is that the short is also affecting an electrical accessory. Finding the gauge fault should lead to the grinding issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
