There are a couple of reasons this could occur.One could be that the temperature sender is defective and needs to replaced this is what makes the gauge on the dash show a reading.Two is if the temp sender is not defective then it could be a faulty gauge meaning the gauge needs to be replaced.Also a short in the wiring or bad connection can cause this.As long as you have normal heat temps when in the vehicle I would not think it is ur thermostat being bad.The only thing that may cause the needle to not be in the normal position is extreme cold but the gauge should show a reading.If the gauge does not move at all, I say it's more than likely the temp sender is bad in most cases.I would not rule out other issues but,most typical is the sending unit,and not the gauge or short or bad connection.I could elaborate on checking lots more but,this is alot to begin with.
