temperature gauge not working

Got my tags last week and took my 715 out for drive this weekend,I noticed the temp gauge not working anybody have a part# for the gauge, I guess I will start there and then the sending unit?

use caution for different gauges with the same MS number. I had that problem with the oil pressure gauge. Might be worth a quick glance through this link to explain.

Follow the directions in the -24 manual to make sure it is actually the gauge and not wiring, sender, ground issues.

If it is the gauge, finding the metal frames, glass front gauge will take a little more work, but be worth it in the end.

The first thing I do is warm the truck up and tap the gauge a couple of times, as the needle sometimes sticks, if that doesn't work then proceed as follows.

Double check the connections at the sender and the gauge. Do a continuity check on the wire. If it is good, ground the sending unit end of the wire, connect the wire back into the gauge, and turn on the power, if the needle on the gauge goes all the way to the right the sending unit is bad, and if the needle does not move it is a bad gauge.
