My temperature gauge in my 1994 mustang GT 5.0 is stuck on hot.I replaced the temperature sending unit and the CTS and had no luck. What should I try next?!

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Is the needle pegged when the car is off? Does it go right to the peg when the KOEO position? Give us a little more detail.

The needle is pegged when the car is off and on at all times. It slightly moves back when I start the vehicle but still doesn’t make it out of the H!

It's probably a bad gauge. I am sure there are ways to test for that, but no cheap ones. It's a very simple circuit, basically the gauge and the sender are the only two parts.
