[W126 Coupe] Outside temperature gauge

[Dick Spellman]

Bill, I've noticed that on many different manufacturer vehicles.  I 
still think the temp gauge behavior is unique to MB's.  Now I have seen 
where the occasional window will be left down in the rain and I've 
always been told that the last person to drive the car was certain they 
were up.  Wondering if this is an electrical malfunction across several 
brands of vehicles.  Whatdayathink??
