Default My Temp needle doesn't move any more, what could be wrong?

Even after my swap before it was really done I could drive the car and the temp needle would go to the right spot. Now only a week or 2 later I have the car running near perfect but for some reason now the temp needle never moves from C. Before I had a problem with needles being messed up and "floating" and it was a short on the cluster but I fixed that, and it also effected the gas needle to. But now my gas needle is fine its just the temp needle never moves. If I pop the hood the engine is hot (not like overheating hot but does produce lots of heat as it should) so I find it hard to believe that my car could be running super cool as the needle would never move. Anyone know there it gets it signal from or think they have an idea what happened?

The signal comes from the one sensor under the dizzy. Go here

I just had the same problem on my crx and it was a burned wire in the wiring harness. Fixed it and started to work again.

it could be that the spool thing that the temp needle goes into is busted, mine stopped working so i had to replace it. you could get one at a junkyard or a honda dealership.

As soon as I saw that picture I knew what was wrong, when I took out my engine harness to fix a plug I never plugged that thing back in cuz its small and tucked away. I popped the hood and sure enough it was unplugged, should work now I guess. Thanks.
