Re: Temp. Guage stopped working?

Another possibility you can assume is the temp needle is stuck. My temp gauge shoots passed 220 and gets stuck between the gauge and the cover. So I had to bend the gauge (this isn't visible when assembled)so the needle would just hit it and fall back down when I turnon my ignition. Just a thought, I apologize if this isn't your issue.
