Temp Gauge Sender issues

My temp gauge didn't work, so I have replaced the dash voltage regulator
PLEASE ANSWER EACH QUESTION...
And watch this video



Did the fuel gauge work at that time?


but when I started the engine, the temp gauge went up to 250° and back to 0° when the engine was warmed up.
Was the engine cold at that time?
Did you allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temp as it went down to 0?

Is 250 pegged to the right?

If so how long did it stay there?

Are we talking deg F or deg C?


I've thought the temp sender was bad, so I have replaced this one aswell

Give us the part number of the sender you had and the replacement


Now, the temp gauge doesn't work at all while everything else works fine.

Define everything else.

Only the fuel gauge and if so equipped an oil gauge ( not idiot light type oil light) have anything in common with the temp gauge

The temp gauge has light, so I don't think it's a cluster problem but either the sender or the thermostat.
The lighting in the cluster has little to do with this. If the ground to the cluster was missing the lights would not light and the temp and gas and if so equipped the oil gauges would peg and eventually burn out.


The thing is, I have replaced the thermostat 2 years ago..
The thermostat does not have anything to do with this. Check the engine temp at the base of the thermostat housing or at the base of the temp sender with a infrared temp gun or other temp probe that can make good contact.
