Locate the temp sender on the engine. Make sure the wire is still connected.

Then, with key on, engine off, take the temp sender wire and ground it. The gauge should go full hot.

Try that and report back.

I checked the unit that has 2 wires and found it had no resistance between the 2 prongs on it. I assume it is bad ?

Ok. Maybe. Try jumping the harness connector, turn on the ignition and see if the gauge sweeps to hot. That will prove if the sensor is faulty.
