No. Your photo shows the coolant temperature sender for the cooling fan.

The coolant temperature sender for the gauge is in the left (drivers side) head between cylinders #1 and #3.

So Is the wiring bad or the sensor?

Do you think we have enough info to decide that? Going to have to do some investigating. Easiest way to start is grounding the green wire and looking for the gauge to peg with ignition on.

You need to at least provide some information about the problem you're having.
