if the temp gage wiring is grounded the needle rises to H and cluster damage could occur according to the helms manual.

check continuity from the sensor to the back of your cluster.

if you don't have continuity separate the 8 pin quick connect fitting on the passenger
side shock tower and recheck from the cluster and sensor back to the 8 pin connector.

also check all the fuses. I had my temp gauge stop working and for some reason it was because my turn signal fuse blew. So just check that and see if that could be the reason and solution.
