Check the small sending unit on the side of the thermostat housing and just below. It is the one with the single wire terminal coming off the sending unit.
Here is a pic of the IPB at a bad angle.

I would check the connector first. Mine worked then suddenly stopped the other day. It seems the connection wasn’t the greatest so I took it off and popped it back of. Presto… working gauge. If that doesn’t work go to Advanced or AutoZone. They will have the new sender for around 20-30 bucks.
