Check the wire is still on your temp sensor check the sensor with multimetre should get a resistance between groung and where the cable goes

both sensors wires are good and tight. the sensor to the ecu and the sensor that goes to the heat gauge. Anything else to maybe look at? been having this issue for a long time.
