For the temp gage, take the wire off of the sending unit and ground the wire. With the key on, it should go to max. Leave the key on, unground it, and it should go to min. If it does those things, it's the sending unit. If it doesn't, it's something in the circuit.
If neither gage does anything, and they both started acting up at the same time, it's probably an instrument panel power or ground problem.
