temp. gauge not working

Might be a stupid question, but my temp gauge quit working. This morning it was working fine. I got into it this evening and it didnt work on the way home. I checked fuses, and the pig tails around the engine. What could it be? 92 z28

The dash cluster utilizes a separate sensor. It's screwed into the driver's side head between cylinders 1 & 3...unless I'm thinking of the fan switch......but I think this is the right one. It's got one wire coming out feeding the cluster.

when you start the car the needle shoots all the way over and back down. So thats an indication that it still works. Ill check the sensor then.. thanks man
