Default 2009 Mustang GT question

Do the 2009 GTs have a temperature display gauge? If so, where is located?

I assumed ALL S197's had a temperature gauge... but I could be wrong (once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken).

If you have one, it would be located in the instrument cluster. Where are YOU looking???

Non IUP/My Color Mustangs only have 4 gauges.

AHHHHHH... Both my Stangs are IUP/MyColor, therefore both have the temp gauge. I don't recall seeing any w/o. My bad.

I have a myColor premium 2009 gt without a temp gauge (it has the information display too). Where would it be?

My fiancées 2010 premium v6 has one...

wait, do you mean engine temperature or outside temperature? I have an engine temp gauge...

2010+ has outside temp too. Which I miss from my corvette and wondered why a premium mustang wouldn't have one. I didn't even know you could buy a new car without an engine temp gauge (my kia even has one).

I am assuming you are asking about the engine/water temp gauge. Your question referenced a "display" gauge. Not sure what you mean exactly, but there is no standard digital display for temperature.

The needle guage is located in the center to the right and between the tach and speedometer. It is in the same location whether it is a non IUP (4 gauge) or a mycolor (6 gauge) setup.

The owners manual has a breakdown of the instrument cluster. If you do not have one on-hand, just google it and there are several free downloads over the web.

Basically, a non IUP setup consist of: Tach, Speedometer, Fuel, and Engine/Water Temp.
IUP/MyColor setup consist of: Tach, Speedometer, Fuel, Engine/Water Temp, AMP, and Oil Pressure.

Don't know what I was looking at and now no idea what the OP was asking.
