For the temp gauge, you shouldn't need to connect a wire to the back of the gauge itself. The wire connects from the harness to the plug in for the entire cluster. As long as your circuit board is all good, that probably isn't the problem. If you look at the wires coming out of the firewall on the engine side, you'll want to find a green wire. That's the correct color for the temp sending unit. Start there first. Someone had cut that wire on mine and I had splice in a new wire and bring it to the temp sending unit.
