I have an s14 sr20det and everything works on my instrument cluster except for my coolant temperature gauge. I just changed my coolant temp sensor and thermostat to a nismo one and it still doesn't work. Wiring was done by someone whose done multiple wiring harness with the coolant temp gauge working. What could be the reason why the coolant temperature gauge isnt working on my car?

try grounding the sensor wire. if the temp gauge shoots up to the top, the sensor is not working.
