1996 xj temp. Sending unit
I've got a '96 xj. The temp gauge doesnt move. I've grounded it out to check the gauge and the gauge is good. I replaced the sending unit and it still doesnt read anything. The existing sending unit didnt seem like it was threaded in all the way, I just matched the depth with the new one. Could that be the problem?

use a multimeter to test resistance of old & new sender, should not be open circuit, maybe a few thousand ohms cold, chuck them in hot water, measure again.
that should prove out a sender fault

Interested by the next steps. I also have an issue on a 1987.
At first I though the gauge didn’t move. But actually it does, but slowly and seems to be out of range.
Like if it was calibrated wrong
