Have you tried shorting the sender wire to ground at the sender end, that should send the gauge to FSD
Sorry fsd meaning? Lol

Full Scale Deflection
I agree take wire off temp sender and earth it whilst someone watches the temp gauge needle should go all the way to hot hot hot
How far do you drive it to warm up
The needle sounds like it's energised but I wonder if sender is responding properly
Are we certain of no air locks in coolant system
sender & gauge not matched correctly.
I had a 200 sender to start with And gauge did the same, I then got the correct 300 sender, it's bearmach and had kinda wrapped thread tape stuff already on it.
I'll try get another sender and see what happens, don't really want to buy another td5 gauge incase that's at fault?
if its a TD5 gauge, then have you thought you might need a TD5 sender?
Bit of a long shot but with engine warm can you run a good earth to the outer casing of the sender
Keep it clear of the centre or near the green insulation
See if this livens up the gauge to somewhere civilised
I've heard of issues with non genuine senders but usually just failures rather than outright not working
Also is engine well earthed, I'm sure it is seen as it starts
Yep read the review and guide
I'm fitting the td5 set up to my 300 soon got the warning panel in already
Yes the wire needs to be calibrated by the speedo before it goes to the gauge otherwise the reading would be wrong
I'm wondering if the wire rework you did has good connections at speedo in case this is pin out and causing an issue
