Troubleshooting temp guage

[clean96GST]

So my temp guage hasn't worked since I bought the car, hopefully its nothing big just some unplugged wires but probably not. I was wondering where the temp sensors/ all the things that plug into the gauge are? I looked in my Manual and couldn't find anything.

Underneath your radiator cap is an aluminum housing to the left of the head. There should be one or more sensors screwed into it. Make sure these sensors are plugged in.

Also, if the wires stripped out of the connector or the connector itself is loose it can cause the gauge to read high; it can even cause it to jump around between high and low, while driving.

Just something to keep an eye on when you get it hooked back up.
