Default Temp guage problem

I just got a new cd deck installed and when i picked it up everything was working good except the temp guage. It now reads around 300, way to the right side. it's even past the 280 red line. What causes this? It worked fine before? Is it an easy fix or should i take it back and have them do it

Something isnt right behind the cluster.I would take it back and let them fix it..They probably just pushed the CD in,and the wires got pinched or loosend.. :smash: :cheers:

or a lead lifted off the PCB seems to be a common problem with the C3 clusters
