In most cases the temp sending unit has failed but, check the wire and connection at the temp sending unit on the engine. It should be clean and tight. You can check the temp gauge by disconnecting the connection at the temp sending unit and holding the harness connection to a good ground. While doing this have someone turn the ignition key to the on position (do not start the engine) and watch the gauge. If the gauge climbs up to the hot position the gauge is okay. At this point you can replace the temp sending unit with a new one.

Look by the thermostat housing you will see a single wire with a "L" plug. unplug the wire which is plugged in to the water sensor for the temp gauge. Ground the wire to the engine block, turn the ignition key to on but do not start engine look at the temp gauge it should read all the way to the right (in the red). If you see this then the gauge is working and the sending unit is bad. If the gauge does not respond check the instrument panel fuse, if the fuse is good the gauge is bad..
