I think it more likely that a fuse has blown.Check fuse #21;5 amp and fuse # 34;20amp. Make sure the multi pin connector to the dash pod is engaged correctly and that the locking bar is clicked fully home.

There is no dedicated sensor for the gauge,it uses the same sensor for the engine control system.Could be a gauge fault,but it is not a replaceable part.You will need another instrument pod.Is the engine reaching the correct temperature?
