Temp gauge not working

[72hoopti]

Gauge is working!!!!!! Got into the harness because I realized I had no continuity through the wire. Someone had gotten into the harness and cut the wire. Idiots!!!!
Spliced wires back together, check for continuity and sure as heck, gauge works. Sending unit is perfect, as the gauge gets to the first hash mark and stays put. The harness is taped and looks sweet going up the firewall. Thanks for all the advice.

Just for reference-the gauge is not grounded to the cluster(see above) and I Teflon taped the sending unit. Just my two cents...
