What would cause the temperature gauge not to rise up? It rised up before I took my transmission out, now after putting back my transmission.. it doesn't rise up?

I replaced the thermostat 2 times now within a week because the first one was defected. I hear my fan turns on which means the car isn't over heating but I just like to know where my heat degrees is at on the temperature gauge.

So what could cause it not to rise up? Any plugs that aren't plug? Help =D

Check that the wire is connected to the sensor for the dashboard gauge, # 13 in this picture:

 

Update: all plugs that I removed are plugged back into place. Any help anyone?

Doesn't seem like there's anymuch tech information around here anymore. Not like how it use to be 2 years ago.

 

THANKS! FINALLY!!

 

so how did you fix it?

 

Guessing it was the plug the previous poster noted. Seemed like they posted at the same time and the OP didn't see the relevant post.
