Tempature Gauge not working

that was absolutely the hardest thing I've ever changed.. it was really buried and basically impossible to get to with a wrench even with all the dismantling I did (intake + TB bracket and multiple hoses) I ended up using a flex head wrench but I'm not entirely sure that I got it as tight as I wanted but almost all the "red threads" were not showing and in comparison to the old that was a large portion of it installed. I didnt see any coolant dripping later either when it was idling.

the gauge still climbs after both of those replacements -- I'll try the water pump test later today when I get home.. Any quick checks like that for either the radiator fan or the thermostat to see if they are working/coming on?

Again, much appreciated - you guys are awesome! :)
 
nope... and I'll pay you to make a house call for me if your interested if I can figure out which exactly is the issue.

I have bruises all over my arm from replacing that sensor last night.. goddamn that is a very tight area and I wasnt about to remove the starter to make it slightly easier on me.. :(
