is there a fusable link

you just did the test it is the sending unit for sure.

I dont know if it is or not. I changed the sending unit out with a new one. Hooked the wire up. Started the car and let it run a little and the temp gauge didn't move at all. I pulled the wire off again and hooked an alligator clip on it and grounded it and the needle went all the way to the hot side. so what the hell could that be.
