The temperature gauge is driven by a simple sensor that is both cheap and easy to replace.
Any auto parts store will be able to help you find it on your engine, and of course more than happy to sell you one.
Most likely cause is a failed engine thermostat.
Thermostat is sticking.
Unplug the coolant temp sensor and check what the gauge says...If it falls to cold, then the sensor is at fault. If it stays, then the gauge is either faulty or the contact points on the back of the gauges need to be cleaned...

A common cause is the thermostat being stuck in an open position.
Your car engine isn't getting up to the desired temperature, about 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is for the Temperature gauge, it feels more balanced than being either side of the middle
A temperature gauge, that always read the maximum temperature, is usually not connected to the temperature sensor. The wire between the gauge and the sensor must be broken.
get a new temperature sensor.
fuel gauge stays on full and the tempreture does not move from cold on ford explorer 1998
could be the temperature sending unit
More than Likely its a coroded connector at the sensor.
The temp sending unit or gauge is bad, probably the sending unit.
