Are they stock guages? If it had aftermarket guages it is possible the needle was put on to far and is stuck in that position. Other than that I'd check the circuitry going across the back of the guage pod to check for a crack or break in it.

sounds like either the wiring or the gauge itself. id just route in an aftermarket cluster if you can, stock gauges are usually always off anyway, but as far as the need not moving at all idk like i said wiring or gauge, there cant be much else that can go wrong, unless the sending unit you put in there is bad which is possible

1. Take out your entire cluster
2. Bang it on the ground 3. put it back in and see if it works now. Just kidding. But i'm sure you feel like doing it.

you could check the thermostat to see if its stuck shut. if coolant isnt flowing past it your temperture wont read. that would also mean your probobly overheating
