Water temp gauge stuck at the top

The water temp gauge on my 86 Iroc stays stuck at the top. Doesn’t matter if the car is on or off it doesn’t move. Is it stuck or is there a short.

Remove the wire from the sender and see if the gauge drops. Sounds like the gauge is faulty I don’t think it has power to it engine off.

If it's mechanically stuck, take off the bezel and move it with your finger.
