Is this a gauge you've removed? There is a 12v, a sensor, and a light connection, you need to ground the case. If the sense connection is open the gauge will read past F, if you short the sensor to ground then it will read E.

Pin 3 from the right is 12v, pin 4 looks to be the sensor. Pins 1, 2, 5, and 6 are idiot lights. Pin 7 is instrument lights.
